Moms gone wild!!!!

Ok - so it really wasn't moms gone wild but it makes for a nice title. ;) The second weekend of October my friend Sara coordinated a girls weekend in San Antonio at the Westin hotel for me, Anne, Ginger and herself. Anne hooked us up with a room on the club level of the hotel and it was awesome!!! The room was very nice with a spacious bathroom and the service at the hotel was impeccable. We started our relaxing, no-kids weekend with spa services and I treated myself to a massage and mini-facial. It was heavenly! Then we headed down to the pool for a little sun and more R&R with our trashy gossip magazine, snacks, and raspberry mojitos and sangria....we were set!

After many hours by the pool we headed back to our room to get ready for the evening. The club level had a happy hour with drinks and appetizers so we thought that would be the perfect place to start our evening. Now this is where things got very interesting. As the elevator door opened up to our floor, a man with an ear piece and walkie-talkie stepped into the doorway of the elevator and looked inside. After he stepped aside I made eye contact with the man standing right in front of me as he stepped aside so we could get off the elevator. This is will be an important detail later I promise. As we walked towards our room Ginger and Anne decided they would stop by the happy hour first while Sara and I got ready. Shortly after Sara and I started getting ready Anne and Ginger came back to the room and told us that they (the hotel staff) practically shoved their drinks at them and wouldn't let them in the happy hour room. Anne put one and one together and determined that the man with the walkie-talkie was a bodyguard and someone famous must have been staying on our floor. She thought the guy she saw from the back might have been Lance Armstrong. Needless to say, we quickly got ready and headed to the happy hour so we could hang out with the stars! Unfortunately, whoever it was was already gone. Our waitress confirmed that someone famous was there but couldn't tell us who it was. She was shocked that we didn't know who it was because he was getting on the elevator as we walked off and walked right by him!!!! Seriously....guess we had one too many mojitos at the pool to be on the lookout for famous people. She did agree to giving us hints and letting us guess but we weren't very good at that game until she gave us the following clues...

1. He became famous on a teenage tv show

2. He was on Dancing with the Stars last season

The light bulbs went off and we guessed....Mario Lopez! Turns out Eva Longoria was hosting a charity golf tournament and all sorts of people were/had been in town for it. We never saw him again but found out from our bellboy when we were leaving that Mario (yes, we're on a 1st name basis now!) left at 4am Sunday morning. Anyway, here's a picture of us at happy hour after our sort-of star sighting :)

We took the hotel shuttle to PF Changs for dinner since it was right at the end of the hill from the hotel.


After dinner we went to the hotel bar for a drink and then called it a night. Sunday we hit the shops at La Cantera before heading home and back to reality. Honestly though, we were excited and ready to see our husbands and kids!
