Minimoonin’ in San Antonio

Minimoonin’ in San Antonio

I mentioned before that due to Mr. E’s finals we would be taking our honeymoon a month after our wedding. We both needed some time off before going back to work so we headed back to San Antonio (the destination of our first road trip together) for a little minimoon relaxation.

When I say relaxation, I do mean relaxation. It was so nice to have the time away and have nothing planned. Right before the wedding (thanks to several suggestions from other bees) Mr. E and I decided to finally make the semi big purchase of a new Cannon Rebel T2i, so I enjoyed playing around with it on our trip.

We headed by the Alamo (celebrating 175 years) and strolled the Riverwalk.

We took the newlywed ring pictures.

And we ate…

…and ate…

..and ate some more.

Our one to-do item on the trip was to find some tiles at the Market Square for our last name. I thought I remembered seeing letters the last time we were there, but sadly all we could find were numbers. Since we will be starting the house hunting process soon (yay for more space and a back yard for Gypsy!), we decided to get tiles to commemorate our wedding date.

Even if you can’t get away for a long time, I highly suggest getting away for a couple of nights after the wedding. It’s so amazing to just bask in the glow of your recent wedding!

Will you be taking some time off after the wedding? Minimoon or honeymoon?

Congrats once again on the wedding. Im so glad everything went well. I love SA and Im glad you guys had a wonderful time. Originally, we were going to do a minimoon and go to Las Vegas, and then do our honeymoon next year. However, we found out that FH will be deployed next year to Afghanistan so we have decided to have our honeymoon now. Two weeks - 6 days in Italy and then a 7 day mediterranean cruise. We can’t wait!

That food looked WAY too good, considering I just ate! Glad you two had a great time - I grew up in San Antonio and this made me think I should go back as an adult!
