After the birth of our youngest, six months ago, we graduated to the status of a large family. (At least in the eyes of many.) We love to travel and since the kids are still young, bunking in one hotel room isn't really an issue. 5 years from now, that will be a different story. On a recent trip to San Antonio,we stayed at the Embassy Suites San Antonio Riverwalk - Downtown. We haven't stayed in this chain of Hilton's prior to this but had ...

Omni Colonnade’s Aquatica Kids’ Suite (A Photo Tour!)
It's no secret... we love San Antonio's Omni Colonnade property! So when we were invited to stay in their much talked about, brand new, Aquatica Kids Suite, Hubs and I couldn't help but beam with excitement. The kids knew we were visiting SeaWorld San Antonio that weekend for AdventureCon14 but had no idea we had this surprise stay all set up! The Aquatica Suite was mentioned a few times on our last visit, a few months prior, and they ...
3 reasons why we love the Omni Colonnade San Antonio
The Omni Colonnade San Antonio is one of those upscale, four diamond, luxury hotels that isn't what you would call a family hotel per se but they make sure any accompanying child visitor is made to feel like he/she is special and in no way out of place, on the grounds of the classy Property. If you do choose to stay at the Omni Colonnade San Antonio with your family, I would urge you to dip into your pocket and spend a little more. Choose to ...
Hotel Contessa… Luxury Suites on the Riverwalk
Two weeks ago when we headed up to San Antonio with our family, we knew we wanted to stay on the Riverwalk to allow my father-in-law to really enjoy living in the heart of San Antonio...even if it was just for three days. An invitation to experience the Hotel Contessa using a media rate was a welcome surprise while we were planning for our trip and we made sure we didn't turn down the offer considering we would be staying on the ...
Christmas 2012…Home away from home at the Residence Inn, San Antonio
It's kind of an understood rule in our family...Christmas is to be spent at home. But just this past year we agreed to make an exception because we wanted to do something special with my Mama. The background... My Mama lives oceans away, so the kids get to see their Grandma only once a year. In 2012, her visit to us in December was barely two weeks long. And because my soon to be 7 year old had school till 4 days ...
At Home on the Riverwalk…The Marriott San Antonio Rivercenter
San Antonio has and always will be the hub of bustling activity. Irrespective of the time of the year, there's always a steady inflow of visitors to the city. Where to stay? If you are visiting the city for the first time and plan to tie in a complete tour of the city, I would highly recommend staying on a property on or near the Riverwalk for several reasons... 1. A majority of the tourist attractions are ...
The ultimate Texan staycation…at J.W. Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa
Two weeks before the new school year began, we took off to San Antonio...our "lets flee to the hills" city. (One would think we'd be ready to pack and move shop already, considering the number of trips we make up there!) An invitation to stay at the gorgeous J.W. Marriott Hill Country Resort & Spa didn't need any should we...should we nots at all. Our memories from last year triggered off enough push to get those bags packed and ...
