Well, we'd never been to San Antonio... but we will go back!
As it happens, the anniversary of my lovely bride's birth coincided with the expiration of my Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards free flight. So we picked a 'Southwest' city, pricelined a cool hotel and off we went!
We celebrated Kelly's birthday 730 feet above the ground in a revolving restaurant in the Tower of the America's (think Seattle's space needle) while enjoying the breath-taking, 360 degree vista of the San Antonio skyline... the meal was as wonderful as the view!
We toured the birthplace of Texas liberty, the Alamo... the audio tour is a must for anyone who visits the city... it was incredibly moving!
We strolled along the Riverwalk, this eclectic collection of shops and restaurants which is located below street level along both sides of the San Antonio river... which winds for several miles beneath the downtown area... (I know, you just gotta see it...)
It was so great to get away... and such a blessing to spend a couple days alone with my very favorite person and very best friend!
God Bless!
Tim and Kelly watchin the Cardinals!

i like San Antonio too. I' ve also eaten in that restaurant. I think Airl would really like it-lots of Mexican food and margaritas---just joking about the margaritas---Its also so cool to think about what those people at the Alamo did for their country. esc
