Our first time to San Antonio was wonderful!!! Ben bought us tickets to see the Broadway Musical Wicked for one of my Christmas presents! We have been looking forward to this weekend for some time. The first thing we did when we got to San Antonio was check into our hotel and then left out the back door of the hotel and came out right on the the riverwalk. This picture was taken the next day, but we got to see it during its busiest time of day- night time! It was so awesome to see the crowds of all different types of people enjoying the gorgeous view and amazing weather.
The next day it rained most of the day, but not enough to keep Texans and tourists inside. We picked Shilo's Delicatessen (which was a few blocks from our hotel on the way to the Alamo, which was also in walking distance). This fun old time restaurant makes it's own rootbeer and used to be an old bank. One of the servers made friends with Ben quickly because they both are from Iowa. She helped us a lot and told us some of the restaurants history because she said, "Us Iowans need to stick together". We went to the Alamo, which we knew nothing about, but since Ben is a history teacher and we live in Texas, we thought it would be a perfect place for us to go. We need to go back because there was so much to see. Davey Crockett died here (so the story goes just to the left of this picture).

| After the show with big smiles on our faces!!! We loved Wicked!!!! I know it looks like we wore the same outfit all day, but we really didn't. Those are the only jackets/sweaters we brought. We dressed up, I'm just wearing green all day (two different shirts though). Cathryn gave me the secret that real fans wear green- so I did... all day. |
