San Antonio, Texas.....


I hope I don't offend anyone when I say this but Texas to me seemed like one big shopping strip mall after another connected by a large farms.

We had a wonderful time stopping at all the antique malls. We didn't have much of a plan......just find the big billboard on the side of the interstate and stop at the next antique mall. I'll have to show pictures of the finds later....after I take the pictures. LOL

San Antonio was really fun (except for the hotel part....see previous post). I enjoyed the RiverWalk.


And I probably gained 10 pounds from all the food we ate every night. The RiverWalk was packed at night. We were there for the NATA (National Athletic Trainers Association) convention. I think there were something like 9,600 trainers, doctors, physical therapists and vendors registered!


We did get to see the Alamo. I couldn't get a picture of the front since it was so crowded but I did get a picture of the research library located on the grounds.


And this really cool cactus-thingy that Dear Hubby loved.


And this is a view out the hotel room window.


This is all I have time to post today. Maybe tomorrow I will get to the pictures of the trip home.

Blessings, Cathi

So glad you are home and that all went well on your trip. I agree about the high priced hotels.

Oh My Goodness! That brought back memories. We visited friend in Texas in sept. 78 when I was pregnant with Jay and we went to San Antonio and the River walk. I know it has been built up a lot since then. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

I was there! Seeing the pictures triggers my visit to DH when he first joined military. After basic training he had a few days before tech school. I flew there and visited your pictures.
