This past month we had two back-to-back trips. The first was a family trip to San Antonio (which was supposed to be a family trip down to the beach in Port Aransas, but sadly Hurricane Harvey nixed those plans) and the second, an adult-only trip to New York City!
Here are the highlights in photo form.
We took the girls to a time share Hyatt resort in San Antonio, where we scored a two bedroom condo (with kitchen). The grounds were a kids' wonderland, with multiple pools, a lazy river with a beach, playgrounds, and even a putting green!
Love this series of Eloise on the slide- that girl goes ALL IN!
There was a neighboring Hyatt resort we also got access to, where we made good on their popsicles and nightly s'mores:
Iyla and I took a field trip to the San Antonio Zoo, where we saw all the animals (her favorites were the lions and big cats) and rode both the carousel AND train:
We returned to Austin after 4 fun filled nights, where I went right to work getting a new listing on the market (and quickly under contract!) and started packing for NYC.
A few days later my mother-in-law arrived to take over with the girls. We are SO grateful to her for taking the time to fly down from Kansas to love on her granddaughters! It would mark my first major trip away from Eloise (4 nights) and happily I felt completely at ease about it.
And then we were off to one of our very favorite cities in the world, with NO CHILDREN! We stayed at the Soho Grand, where we treated ourselves to an afternoon snack and cocktail upon our arrival:
My aunt and uncle from Austin also happened to be in NYC at the same time (!) and we were oh so fortunate to get to spend an evening with them having a lovely dinner and seeing Hamilton on Broadway. This was a MAJOR highlight of the trip for me. The hype is real and this quickly has moved up to one of my all time favorite musicals. I was BAWLING uncontrollably at the end, it moved me that deeply.
The rest of our time was spent touring the World Trade Center Memorial, walking the city, and having fabulous dinners & cocktails out on the town. During the trip I constantly looked at this picture of the girls that my MIL had taken- I missed them but knew they were in great hands:
I returned home ahead of BC, who had to stay on for another 4 days for a conference. The girls had a wonderful time with their Grandma, and both were so happy and affectionate upon my return.
Feeling so much gratitude for the ability to travel, and looking forward to many more trips (both with and without the girls) in the upcoming months and years ahead!
