Howdy Texas!

Well. We survived. We all survived Miles' first plane ride. And he did amazing! I think Mike and I were more nervous about what other people would think rather than actually stressing about traveling. And he did so well. I was one proud mama. 

Getting ready for take off!

We made it!! 

We had friends who were getting married in San Antonio, so Mike decided to take a couple days off so we could make a mini vacation out of it. We flew out of Oakland on Thursday afternoon, and friends, it is crazy how much stuff you have to pack when traveling with an infant. I think I literally packed almost every piece of clothing that Miles currently fits in, because I wanted to make sure we had enough! And looking back, I DEFINITELY overpacked, but I would rather have more than I needed than run out and be outta luck. I will try to do a post on everything we packed in the diaper bag, because I tried to be as organized as possible and it definitely helped!

As soon as getting off the plane on Thursday night, we headed over to our friends house for a pre-wedding dinner and chowed on some grub before heading to our hotel. I was nervous about how Miles would do sleeping, because at this time, he was waking up every 2 hours at home, so I was hoping that Miles would be ok sleeping in a new place. And funny enough, he actually slept at night and napped better while we were gone than he did at home. I sent up a few grateful prayers over the course of the trip. 

Snuggling with my boys

On Friday morning we got up, ate breakfast at the hotel, went back to the room and Miles took a nap-wahoo! Then after little man woke up, we headed to downtown San Antonio to check out the Alamo and River Walk. I will admit that I was a little uneducated when it came to the Alamo, because I was expecting it to be in the middle of nowhere. But when Mike pulled the car into a lot in the heart of downtown San Antonio, I was confused. But sure enough, we walked around a corner and there it was! The city has just been built up around it, which was both cool and weird. I mean, there was a Ripleys Believe It or Not Museum across the street from it, funny.

Such a Champ in the heat

Worn Out

After we checked out the Alamo, we spent some time at the River Walk and had lunch. And friends, for it being 85 degrees plus humidity, Miles did such a great job. After lunch, we headed back to the hotel for naps, before we went out to dinner for some old fashioned Texas BBQ, and it was soooo yummy! 

Nap Time!

Saturday we spent the day hanging out before heading to the wedding, where we spent the night eating and dancing with friends before heading back to the hotel.

Sunday we had brunch with family before heading back to home sweet home. And though it was a fun weekend, it felt really good to get my little family home safe and sound. First vacation as a Family of Three is in the books.
