A Big Pecan and Other Adventures in Seguin, Texas

To be honest, I didn't have a clear idea of what we would do during our afternoon in Seguin, Texas. I will admit, however, that I had read about the world's largest pecan. What can I say? I love the fun photo-ops for little E., even if they're kind of silly.

Seguin is a small town located about 30 miles east of San Antonio, and it is known as "The Mother of Concrete Cities" because so many of its buildings are made of the material.

Downtown Seguin was quiet on the afternoon we arrived, even though it was a Saturday. We took a quick look at the Guadalupe County Courthouse before heading to a very unique coffee shop: Chiro Java.

What makes this place unusual? It's a coffee shop and a chiropractic office! Although I can't comment on the chiropractor, I can say that it was a pleasant place to sit and have a cup of coffee.

Afterwards, we headed outside to the park across the street from the courthouse, known as Central Park. The park features a large fountain, a statue of the town's namesake Juan Seguin, and a gazebo.

Before we left town, we took a short walk around the courthouse to see the world's largest pecan--or what we thought was the world's largest pecan. Turns out the largest one is in Brunswick, Missouri. However, the Seguin pecan was the world's largest at some point, which is good enough for me. Oh well. We had fun on our adventures anyway.
