San Antonio: Day 1

In March Daniel had Spring Break so we spent three days in San Antonio (an hour south of Austin).

We got up early Monday morning, packed up the car and headed out through the back highways of Texas.  It was a beautiful drive.  Lots of green fields, little streams and ponds.  We even saw donkeys and llamas. 

 

Our first stop was in Wimberly a quaint little town with fun little shops. 

There is a river that goes through the middle of Wimberly where we spent some time.

Then we continued down to Gruene which is another small town.  First we went down to a delicious Mexican restaurant with an outdoor patio.

 Then we walked through a wonderful antique shop.

 We also went to the old fashioned general store and bought some Texas cookie cutters and a Blue Bell ice cream cone. Yum! Charlie loved the ice cream. 

 Then we continued our drive.  Once we arrived in San Antonio we went down to the Riverwalk for a few hours.  It is a beautiful walk with ivy covered buildings on both sides of the river. 

Then we headed back to our hotel. (Which was HORRIBLE! But it was super cheap, so oh well.)  Charlie then opened two bananas and ate most of them, then smashed them into the ground...
