San Antonio

Last Friday, McCoy and I joined Gigi and Pop for a long weekend in San Antonio. Poor Pop was there for work, but Gigi, McCoy, and I spent all of our time playing!
I was nervous at the start of our trip because this was McCoy's 2nd plane ride but the first time for me to take him without Kirk. The hardest part was getting through security while getting both pairs of our shoes off and on, getting bags on the belt, jewelry off, coats off...and on and on, but McCoy did great and made it very easy! I had lots of people tell me what a good traveler he was!
Anyways, on to San Antonio! I had never been before and was really looking forward to it. San Antonio is a great town with lots to do! We ate lots of Mexican food on the riverwalk, visited the Alamo, shopped at El Mercado (Mom and I's favorite!) and La Villita, and did LOTS of walking. By the end of the trip, Mom and I pretty much knew all of downtown San Antonio! It's a great place to visit and we can't wait to go back! Thanks Gigi and Pop!

McCoy at Mi Tierra Cafe

At Mi Tierra, the waiter brought McCoy cookies before lunch because he was having a little meltdown! I think this was McCoy's favorite place!

View of El Mercado...our fave shopping destination!

Band that was playing at El Mercado...they were great!

McCoy and Gigi (she didn't realize she was in the picture) at the Alamo

Thirsty boy at Rainforest Cafe

Rainforest Cafe for lunch! Pop was working :(

We had never been to a Rainforest Cafe before, but they're really neat! McCoy's fave was the fish tank!

It's Mr. Frog's brother, Mr Frog!

McCoy loved these guys! Guess who came home with a smaller version?? Thanks Gigi!

Sitting in the tub! YEAH!

I don't know if I've mentioned it, but McCoy hasn't sat down in the bathtub in about 8 months! He absolutely refuses! But while we were in San Antonio, he sat down and stayed that way through a whole bath! I was so excited!

As usual, there were several times I forgot my camera in the hotel and missed out on some great photo ops:( I guess that means we'll have to go back soon to get some better pictures!
