Such fun! We trekked to San Marcos, TX, to enjoy some rest and relaxation during our Spring Break 2010 week. I can't say that there was much R & R, but we sure managed to have a great time. The new San Marcos Embassy Suites was home base. It was such a nice hotel! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the lobby was HUGE but inviting with a large fountain and lots of little lounge-y spaces, and the breakfast was a nice start for each morning of our stay. We visited the outlets with a vengeance. We found wineries along the way to Fredericksburg, then spent most of a day meandering through that darling town. A magazine around Christmas time had a heavenly cake on the cover--and it came from RATHER SWEET, a bakery in little old Fredericksburg. Sooo, I had to scope it out. Yes, the goodies were absolutely divine! I even got a t-shirt! Woo hoo! San Antonio is never a disappointment. It would've been better with about 1/4 of the people, but the crowds were expected for Spring Break.
Somewhere in all the fun, we managed to take side tours of playgrounds for the boys to play. We stuck our feet in a yummy, yummy river running through the middle of San Marcos. The water was so clear and cold. I have to hand it to the boys--they did much better than I had expected. Road trips are rough on kiddos, but I love to get out and see the world. Our tummies are full, our credit cards are well-exercised, and the laundry is clean and put away. Spending time together was great. No normally rigid schedules to contend with, nor usual busy-ness of everyday life. Now we jump back in for the last 1/4 of the school year and eagerly anticipate the upcoming summer!
