Weekend away in SA

The weekend after New Year's Matt and I decided to go to SA for a little weekend get away. We didn't really know where to go. I didn't really want to go to SA because I've done pretty much everything you can do in SA. Well Matt hadn't. He'd been to the Alamo, but he was much younger. I couldn't believe this, but he had never even been to a Spurs game. So I said ok...we can go to SA. (I am the great compromiser you know!) (is that even a word??) So I "took" off work on Friday...I still had to go in for a few hours...and we headed North to San Antonio. Well we hadn't seen Addison or Amber since Christmas, and since we were driving by their house, we stopped. Well the top picture shows what Addison was doing when we got there. Amber said she had a wet diaper and me, being the great Aunt that I am, decided she needed to be changed. Of course that woke her up. I couldn't believe it. The picture below is Addison sitting on Uncle Matt's lap. Isn't she cute? Don't you just want to squeeze her? We stayed there a while and then headed off to SA.

We arrived in SA and checked into our hotel. Then we walked down the hall and outside and had dinner at Morton's Steakhouse. I'm not going to lie...Mortons' tastes a whole lot better when Daddy is footing the bill! But it was very good. Morton's and the Menger Hotel were directly across from each other.

After dinner, we went for a walk around the hotel...Directly Across from the hotel was the Alamo. We also saw some of the Christmas trees around the Alamo Plaza area. We walked down to the Riverwalk also. My favorite time of the year to go to the Riverwalk is during Christmas...all the lights coming down the trees are so pretty. Then we went back and went to bed.

We ate lunch on Saturday at Rits'a on the Riverwalk. It was just Mexican food...nothing great...I wouldn't have to eat there again. After lunch we walked back to the hotel and got ready for a Spurs basketball game. I wasn't sure if I could take my camera with me, so I left it in the hotel. Big Mistake. Our seats were awesome. We were 16 rows from the floor and we were just to the left of the tunnel that the Spurs run out of. We got there early and Manu was signing autographs. I walked over and got two on our tickets, then a AT &T center employee walked over to me and told me that I was supposed to be wearing a bracelet. I said "Oops! Sorry!" and sat back down. We did buy a disposable camera at the game, I just haven't gotten then developed. At first the game was a blowout, but it came down to the very secon shot and the Spurs won. I just want to put it out there that I am still a Mavs fan, but I always enjoy a NBA game.

We ended our weekend with lunch at Papasitos and a trip to Bass Pro Shop. I figured Matt was a pretty good sport about going where I wanted to, that I could return the favor.

P.S Matt told me I was weird for taking most of these pictures!
