Last week I posted about our trip to North Texas and South Texas. Now I am posting all about our time we spent in San Antonio. We arrived on the January 15 and stayed until the beginning of February. We had a wonderful time and stayed very busy.
He loved playing golf with Pepaw and riding his dino.
Sleeping so peacefully.
I really got my shopping fix in while there. We ended up having to mail 4 boxes back to Italy and I brought back an extra suitcase. Connor kept himself content during our many shipping trips....
The weather was gorgeous most days {we have had a very rainy and cold winter in Italy, so this was a nice change}. We spent a lot of our afternoons in my parents huge backyard. Connor liked eating his snacks out there, helping Memaw clean, and running around.
One Afternoon we went to visit my dad at work and went out to lunch. Connor enjoyed playing with my dads calculator and picking out a toy. Of course he picked the loudest one they had and Pepaw happily bought it for him. Thanks dad :)
On our last weekend in San Antonio, my sister niece, and nephews came to see us for one more night. My brother-in-law and uncle surprised us and drove from Corpus Christi after work to have dinner with us.
Connor liked playing catch with his Tio Nick.
We attempted taking pictures of my parents and the grand kids, but someone didn't want to cooperate. His name starts with a C and ends with an R....
I love these kids!
He finally smiled for us :)
After my sister and the kids left, we went downtown for a little shopping and to have lunch at Mi Tierra. They have some of the best Mexican food!
One morning we went to the San Antonio Zoo. Connor really loved looking at all the animals.
His first time tasting dippin dots.
Early on February 5, we said goodbye to my parents and flew back to DFW. Little did we know we would be seeing them again in 5 days! Since we fly standby, we are never guaranteed a seat on the plane until they know that there are unsold eats available. Well, the flights from DFW to Milan were full the day I wanted fly seats back, but the flight from San Antonio to Milan at 5am was wide open. That meant I had to fly to San Antonio the night before. That worked out fine because I got to see my parents for an unexpected 10 hours {including sleep time}!
Saying goodbye the first time.
Hello again!
Bye for good... well for a little over a year anyways!
Acting SILLY!
I'm sad that we aren't going to be making another trip back home over the next year we have left in Italy, but happy because that means we will continue to explore this side of the world. We are in the middle of planning a few trips, and I can't wait to tell you more about them!
