Our next San Antonio adventure took us to the Children's Museum downtown. We hit the road early so we could be there as close to opening as possible. It was well worth it b/c it really started to get crowded closer to lunch time. Children's museums are always great b/c there's lots to do and San Antonio didn't disappoint. Here's Jake and some of the activities...
Kevin's birthday always falls over Spring Break, so I asked him before our trip if there was anything he would like to do in San Antonio to celebrate. He said he wanted to go to Lulu's Cafe. We were introduced to Lulu's through the TV show "Man vs. Food." If you're not familiar with the show, the host travels to restaurants across the country known for the "biggest" or "hottest" foods and participates in a challenge to eat them in their entirety. Lulu's made the show for their chicken fried steaks, but most importantly their 3 pound cinnamon rolls. Yes, I said 3 pounds! You have to see it to believe it! Here's Lulu's....
It's definitely got the cute old diner feel...
We both ordered chicken fried steaks because that's one thing they're known for. We opted for the lunch portion since we knew what lie ahead. After some yummy chicken fried steak, it was time for the grand finale....
It especially looks huge next to Jake's head...
I have to say the roll was MUCH better than I expected. I had low expectations of the taste since I feel like it's hard to maintain quality when you emphasize quantity, but somehow Lulu's did it. It was genuinely light and fluffy and very tasty. Of course, we had a ton leftover, so we took it with us and re-heated it later. It is not nearly as good reheated, so you really must eat it fresh. Kevin and his birthday cinnamon roll...
After our fun-filled cinnamony day, we headed back for everyone to take a well needed nap. We were fortunate to be able to stay at Kevin's cousin's house. His cousin and their family opened their home to us when they weren't even there, and it definitely felt like we had the peacefulness and quality of a resort with the feel of home. After our naps, we enjoyed their awesome backyard before dinner.
There's nothing like lounging in a hammock...
Except for double lounging in the hammock....
Our happy boy...
