Babymoon

Well, Jeremy and I decided to take a mini "babymoon"....get out of town for the weekend and enjoy our last vacay before Dylan gets here--we still are a few months out but now seemed like the perfect time--i'm still feeling great and mobile!! So we decided to head to San Antonio!! Jeremy had never been and I love love love the river walk!!!


First stop was Fredricksburg!!! We ate at Hondos which came HIGHLY
recommended by a bunch of friends..ssooooo worth it!!!! Best burger ever!!!
Then we decided to walk up and down Main Street..stopped in some shops
and put our new camera to work!!! Here are some of our "photographers in training pics"




Okay...now onto San Antone!! We had a beautiful view from our hotel! Jeremy bought a tri-pod for the camera..so we decided to test it out..



6 1/2 months preggers..check out that belly:) I dont know how
some girls dont show!!!




Of course we visited the Alamo! I took Jeremy to see the IMAX
of the Alamo..and then we went and walked around...









So....they drain the river once a year...naturally..the langdales pick the ONE weekend
it is drained. Our luck..right??? FAIL #1

Isn't it BEAUTIFUL?!?!?! Not!
After we visited the Alamo..we had some time to waste before our
dinner reservations... Jeremy had found a listing for a place called
"The lil Aussie Bakery and Cafe" ...he was soooo excited to go there. A little
taste of home...so after struggling with our navagation..we finally made it there..
it was a little hidden place..on the sign was the outline of Australia and a kangaroo..
naturally..one would think with a name like that and advertisement like that..it would
have traditional Aussie favorites.....Poor Jeremy was like a let down kid on Christmas when
we entered...there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AUSTRALLIAN ABOUT IT!! (aside from
a poster on the wall). They made all gluten free stuff...none of which was an Australlian specialty...So we walked out..FAIL #2


We ate at the Charterhouse(I think was the name) on top of the Tower of Americas...it
is a "needle in the sky" structure that rotates around so you get the full 360 view of
San Antonio...sooo beautiful!!!
Here was our view...

I was here back in May for a dear friends Bachelorette party...the next day we had lunch plans
to eat here...1) the quote from the bride to be "ummm i'm afraid of heights" 2) the idea of a spinning resturaunt after a girls night just didnt seem to sound great...
So needless to say..this experience with my honey was soooooo much better!!!
How beautiful!!!


A last little bit about our adventure...we found out that they were holding an Opera Conference
at our hotel....so one morning Jeremy had a quote that still makes me giggle...
"I think that is the first time that i have used the toilet in the morning and heard opear singing, definately a different experience." FAIL #3
All in all thought we had a very nice, relaxing getaway. Jeremy and I both like to make the
best of things and go with the flow. We loved getting out and having a romantic "us" weekend!!!
