B and I decided to drive to North Carolina for Christmas this year... We had quite the adventure during those 2,200 miles from Arizona to NC. Part way there we stopped to see Momma and Poppy in San Antonio, Texas. (They were there for work) The evening we arrived we went to an amazing Mexican restaurant, I can not remember the name, but it was amazing. The place was packed and covered with Christmas lights. There was even a Mariachi band that walked around and serenaded the restaurant. It was such a neat atmosphere with wonderful food.
After dinner we walked around downtown where a small river runs through central San Antonio, just one story below the street level. They have created a neat little scene called, The Riverwalk. You can walk or ride a tour boat all through it. Little businesses, restaurants, and shops line the walkways... full of people and, good food, and neat treasures. This time of year it was especially neat because everything was decked out for the Holidays. So beautiful and definitely worth the time. Downtown San Antonio was almost magical. The old historic buildings, Christmas lights hanging from every tree, and my love by my side... It was the perfect night.
The next day we visited The Alamo. So much history and so many amazing stories behind this beautiful building. The people of San Antonio hold so much respect for The Alamo and what it stands for. We even have a new found pride for this building as well. B's bloodline runs within those walls. None other than the historic Davy Crockett.
Over all, San Antonio was an amazing place to visit. Between historic tours, homemade root-beer and the beautiful views, I truly loved every minute of it. Best way to start off the holidays. Thanks Momma and Poppy.
