San Antonio, Texas

We spent the week of Christmas in San Antonio, Texas with Tom's Mom, Sue, and his Aunt and Uncle, Auntie and Graham. It was nice to be able to spend some time with family during the holidays.

We've visited San Antonio with the kids a few times now and our focus is always on the 3 F's - family, food and fun. Usually there is an "approved" list of restaurants we go to but this year we went off grid and tried a new one from Guy Fieri's show on the Food Network, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

Guy recommended The Cove which, in addition to being a restaurant, is also a laundromat and a car wash. LOL

Needless to say, Sue was skeptical but she was a good sport and went along with it. Thank goodness the food was good so that made it alright.

We also went to Mi Tierra's Restaurant and Bakery. They are always decorated for Christmas but to actually be there on Christmas Eve felt extra special. It's hard to capture it on film but the whole restaurant sparkles.

 On Christmas morning, the kids were relieved to see that Santa found them in the San Antonio. He brought their stockings to the RV and their presents to Grandma's house.

We opened our presents and enjoyed Christmas dinner with Grandma, Auntie and Graham.

Thankful that the kids didn't break any of the fine china.

Andrew spent most of the day putting his Lego's together.

There is a lot to do in San Antonio like the Alamo, the River Walk, the zoo, and the Witte museum just to name a few. We've enjoyed these destinations in the past so it was nice just to hang out with family and enjoy our time together.
