We picked Chris up last Friday, March 30th (Her plane was two hours late and finally came in at 11:30pm) and it's been a whirlwind of going here and there until we arrived back in San Antonio Weds., April 4th to spend the night and get Chris on her 6:30am return flight. We had so much fun and we were all so tired...
These are the photos we took last Saturday, March 31st in San Antonio...We stayed right on the river walk so no driving was required. We went for a river walk boat tour after breakfast, we did the Alamo, walked the river walk, swam in the pool, visited the River center Mall and did some shopping, went to Hemisphere park, rode the elevator to the top of the Tower of America, spent time outside on the river walk at night and then taught Michael how to shoot a little pool at the Hotel...it was a very long day and a whole lot of fun!

Starting the morning out on the San Antonio River walk...~
She is loving it...By the way Chris is a dear friend from high-school and I'm so glad she came for a visit.

Our hotel, they were so good to us and we had a great time! ~
We were all taking photos...Michael had my Olympus tough camera and he took hundreds of photos of waterfalls and ducks, lol...be thankful I've spared you from seeing all of those!~
I couldn't resist this one of the duck. She was so happy just sitting there letting the water run over her feet. I wouldn't doubt it if she didn't have a nest across the way either.

At the Alamo plaza/square they had Native American dancers, really cool!
Chris in front of the Alamo mission.
Chris is a librarian and she was so excited to see this...Michael not so!
Checking the well out on the grounds of the Alamo....Anyone down there?
Some of the shops on the River walk.
Where we ate lunch...away from the crowds and very quiet and peaceful.
A little fun time in the Hotel pool in the afternoon.
What a character! I think he was getting a bit tired of the camera?
River Center Mall was next on our list...
Then the Tower of America...
Up on top checking out the view...
Then a few photo ops at Hemisphere park, it was a gorgeous evening.
The Alamo dome in the evening light
We also found a beautiful garden at Hemisphere park with lots of gorgeous flowers and plants. The plant above is a shrimp plant.
And then we went and enjoyed the rest of the evening at the river walk and here is the view from our room later that night. We couldn't have asked for better weather.
