I just flew in from San Antonio

And boy are my eyeballs tired. From sitting at the Houston airport for 9 F*$(ing hours! But let's not let that distract from the grand time we had on our San Antonio vacation (flights through Houston out of Omaha to and from).

We took off from Creston at 3:30 a.m. sharp. Al, Sharon, Bobbie and Jeff picked us up and we cruised to Omaha across Highway 34. We were wary due to flooding of the might Mo this summer, but it didn't end up bothering our route any. Whilst we awaited our flight, the stewardess specially chose us to sit in the exit row. Somehow that stuck with us the rest of this trip...

On the way there...flights went smoothly. The taxi ride, once we got to San Antonio, was interesting. Not the best running vehicle, and our driver made a quick exit to gas up - running on fumes, I guess! Our condo was very nice - a Wyndham high rise. Each couple had our own room with bath. We took off right away to find the store for a few supplies (insert liquor).

Then we checked out the pool and off we went to the Riverwalk that night. Sharon and I took along light sweaters, but I quickly learned 95 degrees didn't leave room for wearing no jacket! We grazed and drank our way up and back to our place. Last stop was a nice hotel where we had some bitchin' pizza with the lightest crust - it practically floated to my tummy.

Day 2 dawned. The guys whipped up breakfast - complete with Bloody Marys for some. The we trotted across several blocks in search of the double decker tour bus. It took a bit, but we hunted one down. We sat on the top - hot as it was, but we wished to take in the sights of the city. This season seems to be a slow one here - before many Texas schools get out. Hot as hell!

You can tell by the look on Paul's face - no Pee Wee's bike...

By the time we stopped we needed to hit a historical pub for another bevvie. Then on to the Alamo. Remember the Alamo? Interesting stuff. Pretty cool (though very hot) and historical (and crowded).

And hear this...Pee Wee's bike is not in the basement. (guess you had to see the movie). We spent the rest of the day exploring the Riverwalk and establishments. We went to Dick's Last Resort - a place I always like to go as the antithesis to Hooters. It's full of funny stuff. Sharon got a funny hat! We drank all along the Riverwalk. I sweated it all out - but had fun doing it!
