My birthday in San Antonio

For my birthday, we spent the weekend in San Antonio.  We stayed at a motel on the river, which was so nice, we could just walk right out to the riverwalk and we were close to everything.  The first day we were there it rained a lot, but we were still able to do some fun things.  This is the view from our motel room.

The first day we went to the house or mirrors.  It was a maze of mirrors.  It was a lot of fun.  Sawyer was so funny.  You could see the exit from a lot of views because of the mirrors.  When Sawyer would see the exit he would run all excited to finish, right into a mirror.  It was so funny, but the best part is he would just laugh and then move on.  It was rainy, but because of that there were hardly any people there, so we could go through the mirrors again and again.  Also at the same place there was a laser maze the kids could go through it was comical as well. 

Because it was so rainy outside, it was not a lot of fun to walk around, so we spent a lot of time browsing the stores.  Julia was having fun trying on a lot of hats and choosing places to take pictures.  She picked this place for a picture. Kindof creepy, but very San Antonio-ish!

Dennis had never been to a hard rock cafe so we ate there the first day, right on the river walk.  It was good food!!

Saturday was much nicer and we were able to spend more time outside walking along the riverwalk.  I love taking walks when there are so many pretty things to see.  The riverwalk is a must go place, so if you have not been there, you should go!!

This in the first eat-outside restuarant on the riverwalk.  It is also on the front of a ton of postards for San Antonio.  So I thought it would be fun to eat here.  I will admit though, the food was only ok!  Ryan had a lot of fun teasing the ducks with food.  We had told Ryan that he should not feed the animals, but when the waitress come to bring us a new basket of chips, she threw the leftovers into the river for the ducks.  So I guess feeding the wildlife is encouraged. 

We vacationed in San Antonio two years ago and were not able to really visit the Alamo.

There were to many people there, that you had to wait in line to even get into the plave.  We did do a quick run through the last day that we were there, but were not able to really read about and enjoy the place.  So we went ahead a made it there this time and was really able to enjoy it.  Well Dennis did a lot of enjoying, I do not really love history type things, but there were a lot of pretty things to look at.  And it was so nice outside, I was able to enjoy the weather.

All in all, it was a grand trip.  I am excited to go back soon.  I love that we live so close that we can visit often!
