YOMDA! You Only Memorial Day Annually!
Oh my, I am
so blessed with amazing friendships with incredible, Godly women! Six of my girlfriends and I headed down to San Antonio Friday morning for a little girls weekend!
We stopped at the Czech Stop on the way out of town. There is nothing like their Kolaches! It was a great way to kick off a great weekend! We later stopped in San Marcos on the way and did some outlet shopping! There is a VERA BRADLEY OUTLET there. OMG. If you know me, you know I'm obsessed with Vera! I went a little crazy in there! After shopping, we headed to San Antonio and got settled into our apartment... which was an old jail house. It was awesome!

That night we went to dinner at Rosario's! The food was incredible! After that, we went to Target to pick up some stuff we left. I was asleep by 10:00 that night... party animal! The shopping must have really worn me out!
Saturday morning we headed to Guenther House for brunch. OHMYWORD. Can I just say... it was the most amazing meal of my life. And the coffee?? I've never tasted coffee that was so delicious.
It was amazing! After brunch, we went back to the hotel. Then we headed to the Alamo! I was so excited about seeing the Alamo. I taught Texas history two years ago and have wanted to go see it ever since! It was really neat to be there. After the Alamo, we went to the river walk and enjoyed margaritas at Rita's. They were delicious! After that, we headed back to the hotel to get ready for dinner. We ate dinner at an Italian restaurant on the river walk, but I don't remember the name of it! Then we visited La Villiata and just enjoyed the beautiful evening by walking around San Antonio! We ended the night by getting ice cream. It was a fun day!

Sunday morning we got up and had breakfast at the hotel. Then we got ready and had lunch at Acenar! After that, we walked to the mexican market down the street. It was a really neat place, but the best part was stopping to get margaritas at a restaurant there... but I don't remember the name of it! I obviously had way too many margaritas this weekend! Ha! Then we went back to the hotel for naps. After naps, we got ready and headed to the river walk for a boat tour! I was so excited about the boat tour and it didn't disappoint! After the boat tour, we had dinner at The Republic of Texas, which is on the river walk. After that, we headed to Howl at the Moon, which is a piano bar downtown. We had so much fun there ringing in Mary's birthday!

Monday, we got up and headed home! Before we headed out of town, we stopped back at the Guenther House to get breakfast to go. We had some more of that delicious coffee, and I got an amazing (and huge) cinnamon roll to go! We then stopped in San Marcos to go back to the Vera store. (I'm obsessed. I bought the cutest suitcase for CHEAP!) We stopped in Waco for lunch at Newk's, and then it was back to Dallas!
 |
| Yea, I was only able to eat a fourth of this. Ha |
 |
| I saved $200 on this thing!! |
I spent the afternoon doing laundry and going grocery shopping. I even grilled out some hot dogs for myself! Then I met Matt for a movie. We saw Furious 6, and it was pretty good! My favorite part was holding his hand and ending my weekend with him, though. :)
This was definitely a memorial day for the history books! We had SO MUCH FUN! I am so blessed with the people in my life! They are all incredible!
