Here we are getting ready to head out early to visit one of our favorite cities, San Antonio, Tx. It was still dark outside since we were leaving at 5:15 in the morning!
The trip there was pretty uneventful. We arrived by mid-morning and stopped by the hotel to see if we could check in. As usual we stayed in a Choice Hotel. This time it was the Comfort Suites Alamo/Riverwalk and it was so nice! It's a relatively new hotel and we loved everything about it. Take a look at their picture gallery and you'll see what I'm talking about. The General Manager, Mr. Vasquez, was so accommodating and made us really feel that he wanted to make sure we had a wonderful stay.
Of course after unpacking we headed to the Riverwalk. We always enjoy just walking up and down the Riverwalk taking in all the sights and sounds. After walking around for a while we headed back to the hotel and had a quiet night relaxing.
I found out online that there was a Jazz festival going on so we headed that way to check it out. ~M~ was already getting hungry so we stopped by one of the vendors to get a puffy taco.
After we ate our tacos we wandered over to one of the stages to listen to some of the bands that were playing.
It was fun listening to the music and watching all the people having a good time.
We noticed a little guy that was so hungry! He was really getting after this piece of bread.
Having had our fill of the fun at Travis Park we headed over to Historic Market Square. There are shops located there but our main reason for going is so we can eat at Mi Tierra which is probably one of our favorite restaurants of all time! The mariachi's and the margarita's are amazing!
The Historic Market Square was having a free music fest so we were able to listen to some groups and individuals doing their thing!
It was a lot of fun just walking around and enjoying all the musicians. We saw this one guy who had a pretty cool hat.
We headed back to the hotel and just relaxed by the pool. It was nice and quiet and we were pretty tired from all the walking we had done during the day.
The next morning we got up and enjoyed another fantastic full breakfast buffet at the hotel before getting ready to head home.
I need to learn how to airbrush out my double chin. I think working out and eating less would be a better solution but in the meantime someone needs to teach me how!
Here's where we stopped and ate at on the way home.
I don't know if it was really that good or if we were just starving but either way I did notice a condiment on the table. Does anyone know what this is or what you use it for? Our waitress didn't even know.
On the way home we passed one of my odd and unusual things that I like to see. It's in Italy, Tx and it's touted as being the World's Largest Caterpillar but it's actually the national home of Monolithic Dome Industries.
All in all it was another fun weekend with my hubby! :) I'm looking forward to many more!

ReplyDeleteHad I known you were heading south I would have clued you in on a barbq joint that was featured on the food channel. It's one of a couple of places that has an open fire pit indoors.
