...Roadtrip Continued in San Antonio

We decided to make our long road trip with two cars and only two drivers a bit more bare able by stopping at some fun places along the way. I have always wanted to go back to San Antonio ever since Dan graduated from Basic at Lackland AFB. I had gone with my parents to his graduation but we never really had any time to sight see and I have been waiting for the chance ever since.

So we booked a night at Embassy Suites and had planned to just spend the remainder of the day there and leave the next morning. After arriving we realized there was so much we wanted to see and do that we decided to stay one extra night, which I am glad we did!

This is a picture from the balcony by our room looking down into the Lobby. It was really neat because the hotel was all decorated San Antonio style. The real reason we stayed there was for their great Continental breakfast...which is another story within itself!



After driving all morning and into the afternoon we were ready to walk around so we decided it was the perfect opportunity to go the Riverwalk.

We took a boat trip along the river. One of my favorite things we saw was this restaurant with all the pretty umbrellas along the river.


We also liked this neat mosaic they had on an office building.

We were also able to see parts of the Alamo while at the Riverwalk. By this point I was dead tired so I just sat on a bench and relaxed while Dan withstood the heat and read all about the Alamo. Dan loved all he learned about the Alamo and we both would like to learn more about the history of it.

We decided to eat dinner at the restaurant with the umbrellas. I loved the scenery but the food...well...not so much. We were hoping for some really good Mexican but oh well! It was still worth the view!

Enjoying the atmosphere.

I think the ducks and pigeons liked the food more than we did. They were everywhere begging for food and even tried to get on our table a few times.

Being a military wife sure sparks your interest for travel, doesn't it?
