Easter Weekend In San Antonio

Kc and I decided to head down to SA for the break he got (and I sorta did) for Easter. It was a WONDERFUL time of getting away and hanging out, showing him my old house, and touring the city together. We drove the 4.5/5 hrs on Thursday night, stayed on the northwest side of town, did the touristy things, and drove back after church on Sunday afternoon.

I remember San Antonio ... a little. It's so much more fun to go back to a place you remember from your childhood, as an adult. Everything looks much different. In all honesty, San Antonio is way cooler than Dallas. Way cooler. I loved the hilly nature of the landscape. I loved all the trees! The amount of short trees combined with the hills seemed to hide all the housing and concrete that is so prevalent here in N. Dallas. The city seemed less chaotic, less congested, less high-maintenance. Overall, I like SA. :)

The house we lived in 20+ years ago. [Wow. I feel old. I can actually say "20 years ago" ....]
I kept sharing all these stories about what I remembered about this house/neighborhood as we were driving around it. Kc commented that he thought I had an incredible memory, and I remarked that actually, no, Shannon and I just hours upon hours re-watching old home videos -- they do help spark those forgotten memories. :)

The neighborhood pool -- spent many a day at this place -- I even used to swim with the neighborhood swim team! But, I wasn't as good as my big brother ... he was the best ....

The Alamo!
A beautiful Texas sky
An Alamo shot with no people in it ... Kace waited a long time for this possibility

Yeah for the Riverwalk! We walked the whole thing and then ate lunch. [sigh]

At the Spanish Governor's Palace

Me, making friends with said Spanish Governor. He wasn't impressed with my incredible beauty.
