life as you picture it
Even though the season was crazy, Christmas was a lot of fun! We got to see lots of family, eat lots of food, do a lot of travelling, see a lot of snow, and, of course, have a LOT of fun. Here are a few of our family highlights. (Just a note, I didn’t have my camera with me most of the time (can you beliee it?!), so these are off of various other cameras that I borrowed.
Last weekend, Michelle and Cecil had a beautiful, intimate ceremony at The Inn at Craig Place here in San Antonio. The day was filled with laughter and tears as they committed their lives to each other and their family. Congratulations!
On a travel and/or wedding note — The Inn at Craig Place is an awesome bed & breakfast close to downtown and it’s beautiful. The owners are great too! So, if you’re looking for a wedding site, or are just looking to get away from it all… this is your place!
Oh, and check out this shot! I’m sure it’s like this behind me at most weddings, but I just happened to turn around and catch this and I thought it was hilarious! 
Well we went on vacation to… are you ready? IOWA. My mom & dad live up there in the perfect little midwest town with the perfect Main Street, parades, and all that fun stuff. The pace of life seems so much slower up there, so it’s nice to get away. Not to mention that getting to see my family is awesome. Here are a few pictures from our trip.
As you can see, we got to ride on an old train, which was really cool. Beyond that, there was just relaxation, golf, and good home-cooked food. Does it get any better?!
Had a little spare time today, so the kids and I went for a drive. It was relaxing. Got the chance to get a few cool pics of small town Texas, which I always enjoy.
This is the box office of an old theater I found in Seguin (see also sign above). What amazing detail! How come they don’t make buildings like that anymore?!
So my husband and I are planning a vacation in late August or early September. We’re planning jumping in the car and going somewhere, and I was just curious if anyone out there had any suggestions for a good road trip. We live in San Antonio and we have just about a week, give or take a day or two. We really wanted to drive into Mexico on the Pacific side, but a lot of people have advised us against it. That makes me so sad because it’s beautiful there and there’s something romantic and fun about it all. I love Mexico. I got to live there for 3 months as a missions intern a few years ago and loved it. I digress. All that to say, I love travel and we’re up for just about anything. Got some fun ideas?
