Our Week in San Antonio

When we left Corpus Christi, we headed to San Antonio where we met Melanie and Ryan.  They drove down from Ardmore, Oklahoma.  We shared a very nice condo located ten or so miles from the center of the city.  We did quite a bit of sightseeing which included visiting The Alamo, the San Antonio River Walk, a cave tour, and animal safari.  We went to a German town called New Braunfels and there discovered nearby the Guadalupe River and Canyon Lake Dam.  We had numerous fun days of exploration.  

On one occasion we drove into Austin which is the state capitol.  We toured the LBJ Presidential Library and the capitol building.  On our last day we went to Sea World.  We had read online before leaving Las Vegas that while in Texas we should enjoy some BBQ and Mexican food.  That's exactly what we did on numerous occasions.  We enjoyed eating out at several smokehouses as well as eating a traditional Mexican meal on the river walk.  We also fixed quite a few meals at the condo.  It was so nice to be in Texas enjoying a great vacation with Melanie and Ryan.  Of course, a trip would never be complete without shopping which was extra fun since Melanie needed to buy maternity clothes!
