Well, we made it to our 1 year anniversary!! With Eric starting school in August, our funds have been limited, and we were unable to take a big vacation, so we decided on a fun road trip around Texas for our anniversary.
Our road trip began in Houston on Saturday, June 16th. For Valentines Day, I gave Eric a 1 hour Ferrari rental. After a scheduling conflict, they upgraded him to a Lamborghini (aka: his dream car). So, on the 16th, we drove down to Houston for his rental. Needless to say, he had the time of his life. It was probably the second best hour of his life to date, right behind marrying me of course:)
Picture speaks for itself
That night, I got to attend one of my best college friend's wedding! So much fun! Congrats Jenni and John!
Sunday, the 17th, we woke up and drove to San Antonio. The 3 hour drive seemed to fly by, literally, especially since the speed limit is now 75 mph most of the way! We checked in at the Omni and decided to hit up the River Walk. I love walking around downtown San Antonio. It is just so much fun! We ate dinner at this awesome Mexican food restaurant in the Market Square.

On the 18th, the day of our anniversary, we decided to do a little shopping. We drove up to La Cantera and shopped at this great outdoor mall. After a couple of hours of shopping, we headed back to the hotel to swim and get some sun. The weather was perfect!
We had heard from several people that we had to try this restaurant called Chama Gaucha. A few days before we left town, I called and made reservations. After soaking up some sun, we got ready and headed to dinner. I was told not to eat much the day that you go eat there, because you eat sooo much food! Boy, were they right! It's a Brazilian steakhouse, and these guys walk around with 15 different cuts of meat. When you are ready for more meat, you turn over your card to green which means you want more, and they cut you off a piece from this giant skewer. The food was soooo delicious, and the service was awesome. Although a little pricey (at least for us poor newlyweds), I would highly recommend going there!! We will definitely go back! If you like salad and meat, this is the place for you! Here is their website in case you are interested in going!
Shopping, laying out and swimming, and an amazing dinner made for the perfect anniversary!
On the 19th, Eric and I drove from San Antonio through the hill country to Fredericksburg, TX. We spent several hours eating lunch and walking through the little shops in town. During lunch, Eric mentioned that Enchanted Rock State Park was only 15 miles away, so we put our workout clothes on and hit the trail. It was gorgeous!! Although it was hot, I had the best workout I have had in a long time!

After our 2 hour hike, we hit the road back home. We had such a blast on our "Tour Through Texas" weekend get-a-way. It is one vacation and anniversary that we will never forget!
