1st Trip to Austin/San Antonio

If I had gone back to work, this would have been "Back to School" week for me, but since I'm currently Hadley's full-time stay at home tutor, we decided to blaze the trail down South to celebrate no-school this year and for a little family visit. 

Luckily, Lissie had the week off of work as well and was able to make the trek with us, because I've found... it is always better to travel with two if Hadley suddenly decides that she must get out of her car seat RIGHT NOOOOWW. Though we had no issue on the way down to Austin as Hadley peacefully slept like an angel the entire ride down!

We had dinner with Uncle Connor and his girlfriend Melanie on our first night in Austin. He had not seen Hadley since she was born and oh my how she has grown since then...

The next morning the four of us (Lissie, Connor, Hadley and I) headed to San Antonio to visit my Dad & Saleta (G-Daddy & Nana). We first stopped off at their house and visited for a bit before heading to lunch at Mi Tierra. Hadley was clearly very excited to see them! 

After lunch, we hit the Mexican Market across the street in search of some Mexican dresses for Miss H. Here is one of the adorable dresses Nana bought for her: 

Hadley enjoyed being pushed around the Market by G-Daddy who knows his way around a stroller. Uncle Connor picked up a few strolling skills himself throughout the day. 

After our trip to the market and a short tour of La Villita Arts Village we decided to hit the Riverwalk. 

We practically had the whole thing to ourselves. Mainly because we were the only idiots willing to battle 100 degree heat. However, after we snapped a few pics we decided we'd had our fill of San Antonio tourism for the day and opted to come back later in the year once the city cools down some. 

We had a great day visiting with G-Daddy & Nana and Hadley had a very eventful and educational first to trip to good ol' San Antone! 

The next day Lissie & I decided to make a stop at the University Co-op in Austin and do a quick tour of West Campus before heading back to Dallas. Unfortunately, it was one of the first days back to school for UT students and therefore crazy crowded. I've never felt cooler walking amongst 18 year old college kids with a Baby Bjorn strapped to my chest. ;) Oh well... I had my moments of glory - now I'm totally fine with embarrassing Hadley by taking family portraits with my newly acquired selfie stick! :) 

This was the first of MANY trips to Austin for Hadley I'm sure! We are hopeful that she'll follow in Mom and Dad's (and Lissie's, and Gigi's, and Pops', and Uncle Cameron's...) footsteps and become a Longhorn one day! (And a DG)! :) No pressure... 

Anyway, it was a great short-trip and we enjoyed getting to see family! We missed Daddy the whole time though and can't wait to go back when he can join us! 

Hook 'em!
