San Antonio Weekend

We took a break from our usual this weekend and headed to San Antonio. The rodeo is a pretty big deal here in Texas. The rodeo usually consists of bull riding, bucking horses, lots of boots, cowboy hat, and a concert after the rodeo. We had never been to San Antonio. There is so much to do! We could have spent days...

We went to the Alamo
We went to the IMAX theater to watch a movie about the war at the Alamo before that explained what went on. I didn't realize that Davy Crockett fought and died at the Alamo.

Jeremy has a buddy that lived in San Antonio for years that gave us tips on awesome places to eat while we were there. We went to the cutest little restuarant called the Gunter House. There were old ladies all over the place having brunch wearing their floral shirts and broches. The restuarant is very old and has a lot of history to go along with it.

I think the resturant knew I was coming. The outside seats had little throw blankets on the seats that you could wear while eating. I'm always cold it was perfect for me.

For dinner we went to an authenic mexican restuarnt. Those people know who to make fajitas. So good! The restuarnt was in the middle of a street full of things to buy from Mexico. We saw this funny Hispanic Elvis ready to pose for the camera.

Darius Rucker played at the concert after the rodeo. I liked him before, but I am in LOVE with him now. He is amazing in concert. After the concert we were walking to our car and we caught a picture of him walking to his bus.
 
The cowboys make this look so easy. Many of them made is the whole eight seconds.

We of course had to stop to get gas at bucees! Anyone from Texas knows that bucees is the place to be. Bucee's are gas stations that have nice, clean bathrooms. They are always hopping!
