San Antonio

I wasn't home long before I had to leave my babies once again. This time, it was for work rather than pleasure. I am lucky I am with a good group to travel with. As most of you know, this was my first plane ride. Let me just briefly say that I will have to blog about that later. It was an experience that will require an entire post of it's own!

I am not much of a city girl but this was the view from Tower of America.  I love being able to go up in towers or the arch and see for miles and miles.  It always makes me feel like I can see just a glimpse of what God views daily. 

My pictures are all out of order but this picture was of a building along the riverwalk.  We decided it would be nice to take the boat ride through the city.  It was nice and brought back childhood memories.

These girls may kill me but I thought it was funny to watch everyone trying to make decisions on what we were going to do.  I am the type that really doesn't care.  I would be satisfied laying at the pool when I have a free moment but I was determined to be a good sport.  I am not picky so on this trip, I have left the decisions up to my fellow travelers. 

I honestly can't believe I am coming home with this shirt in my luggage but my dear friend Lori loves the Longhorn and wanted a shirt for her daughter.  Because I just love them so much, I bought it.  WPS!

One night, the girls determined we would eat at the Rainforest Cafe.  After 1 1/2s of waiting, we were finally seated.  The inside of this place was amazing and if ever given the opportunity, I will be bringing my children to see this.

My roomie for this week is one of my amazing teachers named Martha.  I love her attitude because she lives for God and to make herself happy.  As long as she is happy and doing what is right, she cares very little about what others think.  I wish I could be more like that. She has been quite entertaining on this trip.  As we walked by many stores, it was easy to notice that clothes are being designed in a manner in which you cant tell if they are for children or adults.  So, Martha decided to test it out so we would know.  HA! 

This building is along the riverwalk.  It is a super thin building and much more like a wall.  I honestly dont understand it's purpose and can't even imagine how anything could be going on in that building.  Anyhow, it was interesting looking so I thought I would share. 

I took this picture along the riverwalk for Jeff.  He is a huge Lonesome Dove fan so I just snapped a pic. 

My poor attempt to catch a waterfall along the riverwalk.

While we were in Tower of America, I was taking pictures and then noticed the shadow.  It was an awesome picture.

Another view from Tower of America.

Pipes and bells along the Riverwalk.

Martha and I enjoyed the Hard Rock Cafe for supper and it was pretty good.  I never buy shirts there but was amazed that it cost $30 for a t-shirt. 

If you ignore the peoples head in this picture, the church in the background is beautiful.

Last night we had some major storms roll through.  I attempted to catch the lightening over the city but no luck.  I honestly cant imagine living in a city this large.  I need hills, fields, and cows!!!  Nice to visit but looking forward to being home.
