Vacation Time

I had such a great time this past week. On Monday, Billy and I left Houston and drove to the Hill Country to meet up with his parents. On Tuesday we went around to a bunch of different wineries and had a great dinner at the Gristmill in Gruene. Wednesday we went to the Outlet Mall at San Marcos and spent a ton of money of course. It was so nice to be able to go there right before Christmas and get some last minute presents. For dinner that night we went to Texas Red's, which is the steakhouse Billy and I discovered when we were there over spring break. The foos was delicious.
Thursday we slept in a little bit and then headed to San Antonio. We went to the Alamo, Market Square, and of course the Riverwalk. The Riverwalk is beautiful at night during the holiday season. We ate at Rio Rio Cantina and then went and hung out at Dirty Nelly's for a while. They have this hilarious piano man there, so that was fun. Friday was more of a relaxing day. We went back to Gruene and went to all the little shops they have there. Then we went and saw "National Treasue: Book of Secrets". We also went to a scrapbook depot and there was a ton of fun stuff there. Saturday we woke up and headed home. It was a great trip and was fun and relaxing.
When we got home, Billy and I wrapped some presents and then we made Christmas cookies. We make them every year so I am glad we got to make them again. Billy leaves for Bowl week today so he will be on the other side of Houston until after his bowl game on the 28th. I think he will be able to come home for a little while on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, so that is happy. Here are some pictures from our trip! (Oh and he got his school ring finally so there is a picture of our rings together too!)













Merry Christmas to Everyone!!
