San Antonio

Since we hadn't been back to San Antonio in a while, we decided to head out west for the weekend.   

We spent most of Saturday relaxing by the pool, which

had a lazy river nearby which you could float on with

inner tubes. It was the perfect day to bask in the sun.

The lazy river had spouting water fonts to make sure you

got equally wet on both sides while floating in the tube :-)

For dinner we went to the Riverwalk downtown.  It's by

far the coolest place to eat in the area, and is reminiscent

of a waterway you might imagine in Europe, with restaurants

along side.  There is a boat that will take you the length of

the river and give you some history along the way.  In fact, we

did hear one of the tour guides say that the bridge you see in 

the distance is the one featured in the movie "Selena" (the

scene where J-Lo is sitting on a bridge and says she feels like

she can do anything).  It's a pretty magical little place.

We ate dinner at a fantastic Mexican restaurant called The Iron

Cactus.  As we were enjoying our delicious, freshly made

guacamole, we witnessed a man proposing to his girlfriend

on the bridge behind us.  It was quite romantic.  :-)
