San Antonio Trip
We had a very successful and very busy trip to San Antonio, December 10-13. Patti & Joe (my cousin & husband) met us at the air port and then took us to supper on the River Walk where they introduced us to Joe's sister, Suzanne, and her husband, Bob, who is retired Air Force. Bob and Suzanne were able to give us lots of helpful advice and were so kind to let us stay in Bob's mother's house while we were in San Antonio. We went to Patti & Joe's in Austin for our first night so we could see some more of my relatives who live in the area. It was nice to catch up with everyone!
On Sunday, we returned to San Antonio where we spent the whole day driving around looking at apartments. We resumed our apartment search the next morning and then met James & Alisha for lunch and an extensive tour of Lackland Air Force Base. James was a co-worker of Sean's here in the Springs, then joined the Air Force Nurses Corp about 2 years ago. He and Alisha have been living in San Antonio since James joined and it was great to talk to them since they have already experienced so much of what we have ahead of us.
Tuesday morning, we looked at more apartments, then flew back to Colorado in the afternoon. Thanks for dropping us off and picking us up at the airport, mom and dad!
It was a whirlwind trip, but we did find an apartment that we are very excited about - 2 BR, 2 Bath with garage. It is located in Northwest San Antonio, about 25 minutes from Lackland AFB and has a lot of our favorite stores nearby (Starbucks, Super Target, Pier 1, Barnes & Noble). It is also near a newly built mall and 6 Flags and has some nice, new parks in the area. We have placed a deposit and are in the application process right now!
We will continue to post news about our transition on our blog and hope to have some of you visit once we get situated!!

Thanks for posting this, Dani! Also, thanks for coming up to Austin so that you could visit with us! That was so sweet of you!
I'mm so glad to read that the apartment is in NW San Antonio! That's much closer to us and to the Flanagans than anywhere else. We all can go down Hwy 281 to get to NW San Antonio. They are doing a lot of development in NW San Antonio. So, you WILL find probably even more of your favorite stores there, new ones at that.
We can't wait until Feburary when you come to this area. AND, as we discussed when we saw you December 10, we are already looking forward to your parents coming down this way to see you and to see US!!!
Love,
Aunt Jackie
I'm surprised you didn't mention the BIG drawing card at the apartment for Sean--the car wash!!
The floor plan is very nice for their apartment too! They have a cute little laundry room where they will get to have their own washer and dryer--another plus for this complex!
We are glad everyone was so kind and helpful while they were down there visitng!
We are excited for you!!
Love, xo
Mom
