Luna has no idea that she was a little bean in her mommy's tummy for a long time while we looked for homes in the Austin area last year. We looked and looked and looked for something and by 7 months preggers, we had to call it quits. Apparently everyone else has the same idea about living in Austin. Gee I wonder why? The gorgeous lakes, rivers and hills and the laid back feel. No pretentiousness, tons of walkers, bikers and no every other car being 50-100K or more like here in Dallas. So when Todd learned he had 6 days off and could take it now or in a month, he took it asap and headed back for a visit.
We were so glad to hear we had points at Hyatt hotels and quickly booked a room at the Hill Country Hyatt. We had not been back to Austin since I was 7 months pregnant and decided we needed a relaxing vacation and this was perfect. We took the back way into San Antonio off 281 through the hills and were greeted so nicely when we arrived at the hotel. Everyone there was so friendly, and lots of families.
We had a great room, nice view and loved the relaxing feel of the place.
They have several pools, a baby pool, an adult only pool, and a man made beach that feeds into their Lazy River. They also have a pool restaurant and pool side service. Pina Colada? Don't mind if I do. We started off Luna in her floaty boat thing with a canopy and got her in the river (it's chlorinated) and she LOVED it! She smiled the entire time, giggled and loved looking at everything and everyone that swam by us. It's not too fast and about 2 feet deep so we could walk with her the entire loop. She also loved swimming with us in the pool and thought it was just a big awesome bathtub!
We had a great hotel room and were able to put her pack in play in the large sliding door closet so she could take her naps peacefully while we watched TV and hung out on the patio. I know it sounds crazy but the closet idea is perfect. She slept so well and went down easily.
We took our umbrella stroller so it was easy to get around the property and she loved looking at everything around her.
At night she enjoyed the camp fires and s'mores! Yum. We also walked the nature trails and found a cottontail bunny on one and Luna squealed with delight!
We also lucked out in that our room had a leak in it so they moved us to the Concierge floor and we had concierge service with free breakfast, snacks all day long, happy hour and late night desserts! We will definitely be going back here one day. Especially since Sea World is across the highway and can't wait for Luna to enjoy it when she is older.
I am posting a few of my favorite shots and then will put the rest in a photo gallery, too many cute ones not to post them all!
