Hard to believe, but Chris and I have been married for 5 years. Doesn't seem like that long. It just amazes us how much life has changed for us in the last 5 years, and all for the better!!
Chris was going to San Antonio for a charity golf game the Monday after the Valero Texas Open. We decided that would be somewhere fun for a quick getaway. We had enough Holiday Inn points for a few nights on the river, and then his company was paying for the nights he was staying at the resort for the golf game, so that helped make the decision even easier!!!
We left Friday morning and spent the day driving. We arrived around 3 and checked in. Life had been busy the weeks leading up to the trip, so once we arrived I took out his laptop and checked out Frommers.com for suggestions on things to do. It had just started to rain when we got there, so I did some Internet surfing and Chris checked out the golf game on TV. After it quit raining, we walked down to the RiverWalk and just walked around and then enjoyed some Mexican for dinner. After that we went on a boat ride down the river. FUN! Next we went ahead and walked to the Tower of the Americans. By the time we left it was about 8:30, and we were tired.
Saturday we did the Alamo, then went and saw a movie, something we never do at home because we have the kids. It ended up being a smart move because it POURED!! After the movie we went back to our hotel and went to Mass. There's a Catholic Church across the street from our hotel, which was nice. After that, we went to an Italian restaurant we had seen on the RiverWalk. Beings we went to Italy for our honeymoon, it seemed necessary to enjoy Italian food on our anniversary weekend!! After dinner we went to a Martini Bar and I had a Mojito for the first time. YUCK!! But it was fun sitting on the river just hanging out!
Sunday we had breakfast on the river, then drove to one of the missions: San Juan. So cool!!! After that we headed to the La Cantera Resort where the golf tournament was being held. We walked over for about 30 minutes to see what was going on, but no one real exciting was in the game, so we left so Chris could get ready for his thing that night. I could have gone, but it would have been a $500 donation for me to go, so I obviously didn't!!
Monday was probably the best day!! Chris and I got up and went to work out in the resort gym. Nice. After that we had a little breakfast and then decided to go check out the hot tub by the pool. Not your average square hot tub. It was huge!! I loved the way all the pools just fit in with the landscaping. Chris got ready for his golf game, so I went and had lunch by the pool, then went to the spa for 2 treatments: a massage and a hot stone facial. LOVED the facial!! Next I decided I needed a nap, then I went back to the pool with a book until about 7, when I went back to the room for room service dinner.
Then it was Tuesday, and I had to get my head out of the clouds and return home. The kids looked like they had grown in the 5 days we were gone! I had missed them, but had a great time with my husband!!
