Vacay Day 2 & 3

San Antonio is impossible to navigate, even with a GPS. Don't bother following maps because it's always on the opposite side of where you think it is.

Got locked in a hallway at the hotel with an employee for 20 minutes. Knocked on doors furiously until someone found us.
Enjoyed a massage at the nicest spa and took a shower there with 4 showerheads! 
Got lost looking for Taco Bell.
Went to Buc-ee's. Huge but overpriced. Bought jerky.
Drove around looking for Gruene, TX ended up in Canyon Lake, TX.
Enjoyed the scenic drive and good uninterrupted conversation nonetheless.
Found Gruene! Browsed an antique store, amazed at how much someone else's old junk can go over.
Reminded that life and material goods are fleeting and eventually worthless.
Went to The Stepping Stone Coffee Bar, enjoyed a limeade and good Christian book. So relaxing.
Drove back to the hotel and rested a bit before dinner, we declined turn down service but got some ice (big deal with no ice machines!)
Ate at Lupe's where they were not skimpy on their guac or cheese. Louis also got a lot of meat which never happens. Good amount of food but didn't taste the same to me. Got a surprise discount on the meal, score!
Browsed HEB for about 45 minutes much to Louis' chagrin and my pleasure. Bought drinks and candy and breakfast
Went back to the hotel and sat on the lofty and beautiful terrace and enjoyed more conversation with my beloved. It was breezy, cool and so nice to be outside and talk about things we are thankful for.

Day 3
A relaxing and slow morning. Ate breakfast and took a shower.
Checked out of amazing hotel and received another surprise discount.
Ate at Chic-fil-a.
Drove back to town to pick up dog and baby.

So thankful for rest and relaxation and the good things that God had for us. Praise Him.

We didn't do too much outside because it was so hot but I think we really made the  most of it.
