We spent our weekend in San Antonio visiting a missionary family that Megan worked with in Georgia. We really enjoyed seeing the Jenkins' again and meeting the newest member of their family, Niniko, a "westie" terrier puppy. We spent most of our time with them just talking and catching up on each other's news, but we also spent some time enjoying the sites and activities in San Antonio. One of the most popular sites in the city is the Alamo and Riverwalk. Our time at the Riverwalk included a boat tour, browsing in the little local shops, and a Mexican dinner on the river. We also visited Sea World. We were a little bit limited on time there, but we got our money's worth of entertainment on the roller coasters and watching the top three shows...the ski show, the divers show, and, of course, the performance by the killer whales. Wade's favorite show was the ski show, and Megan's favorite was the killer whales. Sea World was one of our favorite entertainment stops on our vacation thus far! We are very grateful for the opportunity to visit with old friends and enjoy some of Tammy's delicious cooking again!
As we left San Antonio this morning, we took the scenic route through Fredericksburg, TX. It is a such a quaint, unique little town with dozens of local shops selling many locally made items. The town is a German settlement in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. In honor of the German roots of the town, we dined in a German restaurant on some wienerschnitzel and noodles. It was delicious and Wade's first schnitzel experience! We only spent a few hours there but could have spent at least a few days in the area. On our way back out to the main highway, we stopped along Hwy 290 for some fresh peaches. It's a bit early for the prime of peach season, but we did find some small ones that were PERFECT! In the next few weeks, they will be overflowing with peaches...yummmmm!
Our next stop was an unknown when we started out on our vacation, but we have since found a cozy location. We are going to take in a little fresh air and peace and quiet. We will fill you in on the details later...stay tuned!

I dont know which way you are going back to KC, but if it is through Salina we would love to see you!
I'm so glad you made it to the German restaurant in Fredricksburg. Barb and JD's ranch is outside of Fredricksburg, and that is where I make them take me.
Glad you had a good time in our home town ... and in our home away from home, Fredericksburg! Sounds like you were busy. Sure wish we could've seen you guys. Was the restaurant you ate at Freidhelm's on the far end of Main Street?
