tour de san antonio. . .

my parents came to visit logan & i this past weekend!

it was pretty much the bomb.com.

we loved showing them around the city that we are

currently calling home.

we started off our tour de san antonio with the 2 biggest

tourist attractions the city has to offer:

the alamo & the river walk.

the first day my parents got here they got to experience

some of the lovely hot & sticky weather we have here

 in san antonio on pretty much a regular basis.

i have spoken my peace about the 

humidity & the awful heat that never seems to go away here, but

it actually wasn't too horrible so we were able to eat outside 

without melting :)

 word to the wise-

if you ever eat on the san antonio river walk, do NOT

feed the ducks.

they will never leave you alone if you toss them so much

as a single crumb.

let's just say my mom learned this lesson the 

hard way & she also may or may not have accidentally knocked

the pepper shaker off the table into the river.

oops.

after eating lunch we took a ride on a river taxi & had a nice

little tour of the entire river walk area.

 

 anyone like the movie miss congeniality?

remember the interview scene when miss rhode island was

asked to describe her perfect date and she said april 25th?

well, this is where that scene was filmed.

nbd.

 because my parents were in town during general conference

we had to make a yummy breakfast for the 

sunday morning session.

my mom has an amazing recipe for french toast with a

 berry sauce so it was an obvious choice. 

conference was amazing & so was the breakfast.

the japanese tea gardens were another stop on our 

tour de san antonio.

logan & i went several weeks ago to check it out & while it

 was hot and muggy a few weeks ago-my parents brought

the fall weather with them on this day & it was chilly enough

outside to wear boots!

boots people!

and a blazer!

my dreams of wearing fall clothing in texas came true on this 

very day & i was pretty much elated.

while at the gardens we were privileged to see a girl

getting pictures taken for her quinceanera.

when i first saw her i literally thought she was a bride because

she was basically wearing a wedding dress.

we hit up the orange leaf a.k.a my new favorite frozen yogurt

joint here in san antonio several times during my parents stay.

i decided if i could only eat one food for the rest of my life

it would be fro yo.

 we took my parents to our favorite restaurant called mi tierra

in the market square area.

the square is filled with little shops and fun booths to peruse. 

my mom may or may not have had a little too much fun

shopping for souvenirs. 

 it was a quick trip for my parents but we were able to pack

in a lot of sight-seeing in just a short amount of time.

if anyone else is interested in visiting us we would love

to give you the tour de san antonio!

thanks for coming mom & dad!

we miss you already :)
