#5. San Antonio River Walk
It's just cool & that's all there is to it.
#4 The Alamo
Because we were having such a good time....
we forgot to go and see it.
Maybe Next Time.
#3. MiTierra Cafe & Bakery
You can find it at the Market Place.
The food is WAY BETTER than the food I had IN MEXICO,
they have a kickin' Mariachi Band, AND they are open 24-7
....Oh and THE most beautiful Christmas decor I have EVER seen.
#2. The San Antonio Opera
An amazing group of people.
A gifted symphony and a 100 man/woman chorus.
This group managed to pull off CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA
with no sets, no props, no costumes, and no theatrics.
It was amazing.
And ANDREA BOCELLI.
My wonderful husband had us sitting so close I could have kissed the man.
Had it not been for security..I would have.
When he walked onto the stage the room exploded..5 seconds later you could have heard a pin drop.
During his 2nd curtain call, the maestro led Andrea to a Grand Piano where he sat alone, played, and sang Ave' Maria to a sold out crowd.
I started to cry when he played the first note and stopped when he played the last.
It was something I will never forget.
I would have posted pictures, but my camera was stolen....long story...Don't ask...
And the #1 Reason we will return to San Antonio is
Rachel & Dan !
We met up with Dan & Rachel for brunch.
The most precious couple of people you will EVER meet!
Rachel is as beautiful and graceful as a ballerina.
Five minutes after I met her, I felt like I had known her for years.
Intelligent,Vibrant , Charismatic and she did not make one joke about the
amount of green tea I drink.
I could just hang out with her all day.....Maybe when we meet up in Tennessee,
we'll do just that.
Then there is Dan........
Tall, Handsome, Smart, Charming, Athletic, a Wonderfully
Quirky Sense of Humor, a Christian, Crazy About his Family,
AND the dude is sportin' some SERIOUS ink.................
If that ain't awesome- I don't know what is.
They were truly the highlight of our trip.
So there you have it folks... The Top 5 Reasons We Will Return To San Antonio, Texas!
I can't wait to go back.
Peace.
You mean to tell me that no one gave you a good natured "Remember the Alamo" when you were on your way there?
ReplyDeleteMy husband went to San Antonio on a business trip a few years ago. he said the only thing that could have made the River Walk any better would have been me there with him. We are planning to go some time. It sounds incredible.
GO! GO! GO! You will LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteAndrea
Now that is a perfect trip. Love San Antonio, love Andrea more. Yea for you!
ReplyDeleteyeah!!!!! so very glad you had an awesome time!! interesting that you used the word "ballerina" for rachel...though i've never met her, i can totally see it! oh, and so glad to hear that you didn't jump on stage and are now blogging from a texas prison!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun trip! San Antonio sounds wonderful! Please don't tell me someone stole your camera! How awful!
ReplyDeletesounds wonderful! except for the camera part...that stinks!
ReplyDeleteHey!
ReplyDeleteSorry its taken me so long to respond to your comment. I'm kind of a slacker, as i'm sure you'll soon figure out.
I wish i got to go on vacations as often as it appears you do. I would love to see San Antonio, Disneyworld & well, anywhere other than home. :0)
yes yes i'm sure that they're not a main squeeze. the "cute one" is my BFF, even though i'm sure he'd be annoyed if he knew i called him that. & I dont know that i have very many Tish college stories, i was just little then. but i'll see what i can come up with, its just going to be harder without ma around.
happy saturday night!
fun!!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to go to the River Walk!! Maybe someday. right now I take a "vacation" to China every year and come home with a small Chinese child, but soon I might be able to just take a good ol vacation:)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful trip!!Shelby
Shelby- I gotta tell ya, I'd trade you my "San Antonio trip" for your "China trip" ANY DAY OF THE WEEK! ;)
ReplyDeleteMaybe next year we can meke the trip together!
Andrea
Sounds amazing!! I love your powers of description! W#hat is ink, you cannot mean tattoos!?!?! I can't picture it on him!
ReplyDeleteoh well... When we lit the Christmas tree for Bailey, I thought of you!!!
PS Don't feel too bad about the alamo. We are RELATED to Jim Bowie and have never gotten there!
You know, I was thinking of you this morning while trying to dash between two vomiting kids while also keeping up with Mt. Laundry. How DO you do it with LOTS of kids??? I can see why you quarantine them! :)
