Day Trip!

Yesterday Blair and I decided to take a little trip to San Antonio.  I have only been one other time since I have lived here.  I would really like to explore some more of TX, but I also wanted to take Blair to the Alamo.  I felt like she needed to experience the symbol of Texas's liberty since she is now a TX resident:)

After the Alamo, we checked out the river walk.  We ate lunch at the oldest restaurant on the river walk, Casa Rio, and did a lot of walking.

Other than all the tourists at the Alamo and on the River Walk, San Antonio was like a ghost town.  There were hardly any people out downtown.  A lot of the hotels/restaurants downtown were out of business.  It was honestly a little eerie and rundown.  There wasn't a whole lot to see after lunch so we headed back to Austin. 

We stopped at a huge outlet mall in San Marcos and did a little shopping.  I think everyone from San Antonio must have been at the outlet mall because it was packed!  After a quick and delicious stop for a mini-Blizzards at Dairy Queen, we headed home. 

All-in-all, the weather made it a perfect day for a little road trip and we had a pretty good time!
