Babymoon

We spent the last three days at the Hyatt Hillcountry resort in San Antonio  relaxing, eating delicious breakfasts, and walking (or waddling) around the  lovely area. Jason is so precious for taking me on a special trip before the baby arrives! It was neat because we were able to redeem a couple of  his applause awards, that he earned this spring, for gift certificates at the Hyatt.  They paid for all three nights  at the resort. On top of that, the Hyatt was offering a "3 for free" package during the month of May where if you stay two nights, you get the third night free! Included in the package was breakfast every morning. We loved getting omelettes, waffles, fresh fruits, and french-pressed coffee every morning. The resort was empty the whole time we were there, which was really enjoyable. We definitely recommend taking a trip there and cannot wait to take out kids there someday! We decided that we had to have some Mexican food while we were there, so we headed down to the river walk on Monday night. After passing one Mexican restaurant after the other, we stopped in at the Iron Cactus for fajitas. We had such a great time talking about little Hudson and what it is going to be like to be parents!  It's weird to think that in a month and a half  our lives will be changed forever. We walked on down the walk  toward the river center, where I can remember hanging out as a kid. Nothing has changed about that area-the river barges with cheesy tour guides taking  you up and down the river, the really bad mall, and the music that sounds like a bunch of recorders playing loudly for all to hear. Needless to say, we left shortly after . Way cooler when you are five. It was fun to laugh about though. I promised Jason that I would not make him shop while on our special vacation together. Of course, that kind of fell through. It was very muggy and cloudy on Tuesday, so we ended up driving 15 minutes to an upscale shopping area called The Shops at La Cantera. He was so sweet for letting us go, and he even let me play in Anthropologie while he sat and played bubble breaker. I love looking in that store, even though right now I cannot fit in anything they have-so sad. We played with fancy coffee makers in William Sonoma and tried out couches in Pottery Barn. The trip was so nice-our last little getaway! We both decided that if we had waited any longer to go, I would have been unable to enjoy it due to my extreme preggers state.
