Shad and I had the chance to get away this weekend to San Antonio. We didn't realize how nice it was until we actually did it. It wasn't anything fancy but it sure was wonderful. We didn't do much of anything except relax. (Shad has a TERRIBLE case of poison ivy from last weekend and my pregnant self loves to sleep these days, so we were just fine with nothing exciting.) On the way down I learned that Shad had never been to the Alamo before. I was floored. I could not believe it. What a disgrace!! He has even been to San Antonio before and never seen it- UGH! So- we had a short history lesson on the way down. He claims he is "from" OKC so he didn't have to know Texas history, but I disagree. For any of you who have lived in Texas for lets say more than 3 or so years.... get your self up to date on some Texas history and visit the Alamo! We spent some time shopping in San Marcos and had a great visit to Gruene. Shad had also never eaten at the Grist Mill. We both thoroughly enjoyed our evening there and bought Baby #2 some decor for the nursery at a local shop. (Those of you who have never been there should go also-- it is a Texas treasure and makes a GREAT weekend trip.)
**Aren't all of these beautiful pictures lovely-- ohhh wait- Shad erased them from my camera because he didn't want anyone to see his poison ivy!!

Haley,
You're right. Non-Texans should learn about the Alamo since it was Non-Texans who fought at the Alamo. It was Virginians, Tennesseans, Pennsylvanians, Indians (from Indiana, not India), Ohians, Alabamians, and even some Frenchmen and Irishmen. Of course, there were some native Texans, but they had names like Rodriguez, Sanchez, and Martinez. You can thank us anytime.
