deep in the heart of texas

For two summers, I worked as a Youth Intern at Northside Church of Christ in San Antonio, Texas. It was the best summer job!! Well, I fell in LOVE with San Antonio. Craig was born in Houston and inherited the Texas attitude, even though he lived there for only three months. We made a quick trip last week to visit the great state of Texas (San Antonio to be exact), and we had a wonderful time!!

We left Nashville on Wednesday. We boarded the plane early, but we were delayed before take off. Someone boarded the plan without scanning the ticket. The flight attendant started at the front of the plane and checked every one's name off the flight list. The person was on the very last roll. The flight was a little bumpy, so I was happy when we finally landed. After what seemed like forever, we got our rental car and made our first stop at my favorite Mexican restaurant.Alamo Cafe, I have missed you!! While I lived in San Antonio, I visited this place very often. They have a tortilla factory in the restaurant, so they always bring you fresh, hot, yummy tortillas. We enjoyed salsa, queso, tortillas, and fajitas. The atmosphere is also wonderful!

After lunch, we headed downtown to the River Walk. We went to our hotel, but our room was not ready. So, we went exploring. When the hotel called, we returned to our room and took a nap.
We stayed in the Omni hotel on the River Walk. It's a beautiful hotel with a very friendly and helpful staff.

After our LONG nap, we enjoyed a peaceful stroll along the River Walk. We decided to take a river cruise, which was fun and entertaining. Our guide did a great job of telling us the history of the River Walk, the hotels, and the restaurants as well as make funny jokes along the way. That is a recap of Day One. More to come...
