Our Weekend Getaway!

Saturday morning I woke Brandon up at 6:30 in the morning and told him that I had a surprise for him. I told him that we were leaving in 15 minutes and he wouldn't be working for the day. As soon as he was ready we got into the car and we made the 4 hour drive to San Antonio. I eventually told him that we were going to the temple and he was so excited! The temple was awesome, we love being able to go inside together.

Brandon was thinking that we would be back home in time to hang out with the rest of our friends at a baseball game but instead I drove him to the hotel we stayed at on the riverwalk in downtown San Antonio. Brandon was shocked and I loved surprising him. We had the best weekend together. We have both decided that San Antonio is one of our favorite cities.

I found an amazing deal for our hotel that was on the riverwalk and across the street from the Alamo. We loved the little boat ride we took down the river, we had a really funny guide. One of the parts of the day was dinner. I had made reservations at a restaurant on top of the Tower of Americas, a 750 foot-tall tower in the heart of San Antonio. In the hour that we were there it did a 360 degree circle so we saw all of San Antonio while we were eating!

It was so nice to be able to take a break from our busy work week and just relax! It has been an amazing six months babe! You are my favorite!

Remember the Alamo!


Brandon was so excited to hear a Peruvian band.

I have always wanted to plan a fun trip for Jesús and I since we have been married. Our 3rd anniversary is next week and we will be in Utah visiting his parents and we have nothing planned. How sad is that?? We have actually never stayed in a hotel by ourselves. So keep up the fun outings with your honey!!
