It has not rained in San Antonio in weeks, and the night we got there it was raining! We took a cab, got lost, and finally made it to our hotel by about 11pm. The next morning we went to breakfast in the hotel and they had Belgium waffles shaped like TEXAS! Jane and Richard, Rob's cousins, picked us up from the hotel on Saturday morning and took us to the little Texas town of Gruene. We ate at this fabulous restaurant, The Gristmill. It was huge, and really used to be a gristmill back in the day.
Hook 'em horns! While we were there we went to a Texas Football Game....I've never seen so many cowboy boots in my life. It was a lot of fun, and we made ourselves fit right in by taking a quick visit to the local Wal-mart and gearing up for the game.
Japanese Gardens Tea Gardens. Beautiful, color everywhere, and huge Koi fish; everthings bigger in Texas. We got a small dose of what the heat is like in Texas...HOT!
Well, the Alamo is definitely not all it's cracked up to be! It was neat to hear all the stories, however, the line was so long to get in, so we just went in the back gate of the gardens and walked around on the inside of the walls.
Jane and Richard thought it was a must for us to head down to El Mercado! We had authentic Mexican food, and went through a Mexican market. After the market, they took us back to the airport, and back to the ATL. It was a short, but fun weekend. Happy Labor Day!
Even though it was a little overcast, you could see for miles!
What a way to end the day...couples massage at Littlefield Cottage...ahhhh! I want to go back.

Look how quickly they have grown...running around and playing with each other.
Papa Charlie doesn't really know what to think about these little guys and gals....he's a little skiddish!
So sweet and calm...however, they are staring to chew on things, so some days I'm eager to get them to their new homes!
Look at those faces!
