We were looking to try somewhere different for a vacation, so we planned a trip to San Antonio over Melinda's April birthday hopeful that we would find some sunshine. As soon as we touched town, we knew we had left the desert since our hair started to immediately curl up.
Highs:
1. Going to Dough Pizzeria on Melinda's actual birthday. Apparently they were featured on Diners Drive Ins and Dives just a few weeks earlier, so us and everyone else, were there waiting at least an hour and a half to get in. But, boy, was it worth it. We actually loved the pizza in San Antonio way better than the Mexican food. The pizza at both Dough and Grimaldi's was yummy. At Dough, after the pizza, we had this amazing dessert . . . panna cotta with caramel and macerated cherries . . . yum!
2. We loved the location we were at. The hotel was about 15 minutes away from downtown San Antonio and they had so much to do right at the resort. Mom would have loved the huge porches and rocking chairs that were placed all over. I was giddy about the weekly schedule you were provided with activities happening all throughout the days. Each night they had movies on the lawn (with popcorn!) and you go to roast your own s'more . . . what could be better! One of our favorite things was hanging out at the pool . . . yay for sunshine! And ordering and having food delivered right to our chair. We snarfed chips and salsa and guaacamole and cold beverages and were in heaven.
3. Melinda and I took a "Foodie Tour" around San Antonio trying samples from different restaurants.
Our first stop had this sweet decor throughout. Nice, right?
And, Luther's made us feel right at home. Of course, my favorite part was finding a nice cold fountain Coke to sip in between stops.
We were on the tour with people from Alaska to South Carolina and lots of places in between. Another Diners and Drive In stop was The Cove that is, get this, a car wash, a laundromat and a restaurant. Not to mention it serves organic, fresh food. The fish tacos were delish!
Kristen wasn't on the tour with us, so we brought her back a scrumptious chocolate cake . . . and 3 forks. It didn't last long!
We ventured into San Antonio and ate some yummy food, took a riverboat cruise and toured around the Alamo.
On Easter Sunday we had an incredible brunch at the hotel and then went to find the temple nearby. The grounds were closed, but it was a lot of fun to see.
Our lows of the trip included the humidity and our first meal at Tiago. Other than that, we had a lot of fun together and area ready for our next adventure city.

I've heard San Antonio is awesome...looks like a lot of fun! You girls definitely know how to travel
Dude! San Antonio is only like my favorite city on the planet! When I lived in Dallas, we would go down all the time. And I'm glad you took the riverboat tour. It's a shame when people skip it.
Also, I'm talking about fish tacos on my blog tomorrow but I wrote that post like a bazillion years ago so there's no plagiarization. (<--new word!)
Also, you guys are my favorite!
Also, I think I should do a caffeine detox before I comment on blogs.
