Texas
Here is the rest of our trip to Texas.
Watching us takeoff.
A couple of shots of the condo we stayed in. It was really nice and was so much more convenient now that we have a toddler!!
It was two stories and had three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Also had a washer and dryer and a kitchen and porch.
After we got settled in our condo, we headed out to get some dinner. This was where we decided. It was DELICIOUS and they had the BEST tortillas!
Ray San enjoying his cheese quesadilla.
The next morning, it was raining so Ray San wore his new rain boots. My mom and I went and got manicures and pedicures and then we went to get some lunch.
We had lunch here. They had the best frozen custard which is like ice cream but creamier. It was really yummy!
Dipping his fries in ketchup =]
That night was Katie & Kevin's wedding.
The next morning we woke up and checked out the town where we were staying, Gruene. We believe it is pronounced green. They had a little weekend fair where all of the older people sold their handmade goods.
After that, we went and had lunch here.
Ray San enjoying his grilled cheese sandwich.
My tasty turkey sandwich. I had to cut it all up and eat it with a fork. It was so fat I couldn't take a bite!!
That evening we headed to Shavano Park where my friend Ruth and her family live. Here are all of the kids.
Me and Ruth =]
On our way to San Antonio.
First stop, the Alamo. A lot of people said it was really boring, but I actually found it to be rather interesting. It was probably because my dad rented all of us the audio tour which helped explained a lot about what we were looking at.
After the Alamo, we headed to the Riverwalk. People said they liked it, but I didn't get it really. it was cool that it was right along the river, but it really was just a bunch of restaurants.
We had lunch here.
A few people told us to try Rudy's. We just happened to have one by the condo so we checked it out after our day in San Antonio. It was really good!!
Ray San enjoyed the ribs =]
The next morning we got up and headed up to Austin. Our first stop was Ladybird Johnson Wildflowers.
After that, we were going to check out East 6th street which is apparently just like Bourbon Street late at night. First we had lunch here.
I believe this is called the Frost Building. It was definitely a cool looking building.
After lunch, we went walking down 6th street. Here's the famous Driskill Hotel.
As you can see, East 6th Street was full of bars and pubs while West 6th Street is more office buildings.
After checking that out, we headed up to the University of Texas.
That night, my dad really wanted a steak so we went here. It was expensive, but really good.
We were leaving the next afternoon so after we checked out, we stopped at the park. Ray San had SO much fun swinging, sliding, climbing and hanging.
On the way to the airport, we stopped for our last meal in Texas. Since Gruene is a German town, we decided to try a German restaurant. I had an awesome chicken schnitzel.
We were able to squeeze a lot into our short little trip and I'm really glad. We had a fabulous trip!!
Ray San patiently waiting for us to takeoff.

Katie & Kevin's Wedding
It's a little later than I planned, but here's the post for the wedding.
We headed to Texas in the middle of April for Kevin & Katie's wedding. We really thought the weather was going to be hot, but it was just right!!
The day of the wedding we woke up to gray skies and rain. I felt bad, but by the time the wedding arrived, it had stopped and the sun was starting to shine. They proceeded with their outdoor wedding and just as they were saying "I do" the rain started. The couple kissed, walked down the aisle and the skies opened up. Everyone ran for cover!!
We had 3 different kinds of cupcakes to try. The cake topper was Kevin's maternal grandmother's. We also had an awesome lightning storm as well.
We're happy for Kevin & Katie and hope we get to see them soon!!
Here are the pictures.
Auntie Kido & Uncle Carl bought Ray San a hat. We had a feeling it would be too small... we were right!!
Up next will be some things we did around Texas.

It was a beautiful wedding with delicious BBQ from the famous Salt Lick restaurant.
