Weekend at Boerne (pronounced "Bernie")

I'm so cheesy it is amazing Mari married me! Mari and I took our first out of town trip minus babies this weekend. Her parents took over the homefront and got a taste of what it is like to raise quadruplets. They said it went well and had fun but we'll have to see when their next trip down here will be.

We had a blast doing not much of anything, just hanging out at the Hyatt Hill Country Resort in San Antonio. In true Mari and Chris style, we layed at the pool on Saturday, and, as always, were the first ones out there (and only ones for that fact). I apologize to all of you out-of-staters and don't mean to rub it in, but 75deg...sunny...heated pool...February...Texas rocks!! It was great - we stayed out there for 4-5 hours and got so sunburned! We took a short trip to Boerne, TX to do a little shopping and grab dinner on the deck of The Creek.
What kids?

Here's a crazy story from The Creek....we are enjoying our appetizer and a glass of wine when we see a lady walking a Vizsla puppy. I ask how old the pup is and strike up conversation because Jaz is a vizsla. After our meal, we go over to pet the puppy, Izzy, and chat with that group of ladies, one of which is about to get married. It turns out that not only do we share vizslas (with purple collars), but the bride-to-be's mother is from the same city in Iowa that Mari's parents live in, and the bride-to-be is also a physical therapist. It was so crazy how many similarities there were, we were all shocked.

We had a wonderful time away together to refresh and are so thankful to Mari's parents!
P.S. There is another post before the "Photos" post. I posted them the same day so it may have been missed - there is all kind of important stuff in there, including a link to another short video :)
