Twin Moms’ Trip 2010: Peace, Love, and Twins

Last weekend I had my first weekend away since Gavin and Emery were born!  Even better, it was with 4 other awesome twin moms. 

We met in San Antonio last Thursday night and had 4 relaxing days of uninterrupted conversation, 3 hour meals, and lots and lots of shopping! 

Thursday night we talked over great Mexican food (and a very LOUD mariachi band)!

Hannah (2.5 year old b/g twins), Amy (2 year old g/g twins), Me, Liz (19 month old g/g twins), and Britni (2 year old g/g  twins)

The next morning, we started the day with Starbucks

and pedicures…….

Then shopping, shopping, and more shopping!

Of course we had to stop at Target!

On Saturday, we drew lots of attention.  Maybe because of our awesome shirts……

Or it could have been our behavior……

  First stop of the day…….of course, Starbucks!

Then, we visited the Alamo…..    IMG_7187

Had a very leisurely lunch…..

Then, leisurely appetizer and drinks.

No kids’ menus, no high chairs, and no rushing to pay the bill before meltdowns!  :-)  In fact, we just wandered around on our own schedule, following Britni who guided us with her faithful iphone.

Saturday night, we got dressed up…..

and went to see Jersey Boys at the Majestic Theater.

The theater was awesome and the show was great.  Especially our front row seats!  Ok, just kidding.  We were actually 2nd row from the very top.  :-) 

We stayed up late Saturday night, sad that the trip was coming to an end.  On Sunday morning, Hannah was the first to hit the road.  Our group continued to shrink as Britni headed out after lunch.  Amy, Liz, and I were on the same flight back to Dallas, so we got to save our good-byes for the DFW airport.

What a fun weekend and a great group of friends.  It was better than I ever expected and I can’t wait until next year!

Yes, I was sad to leave and wish I could have stayed a couple more hours to return you to the airport after greeting you at your arrival. So glad it was this trip as your first getaway and you were able to take a break. YOU deserve it!
