San Antonio Trip: Day Six

Our last full day in San Antonio was a busy one. We walked to HemisFair Park (site of the 1968 World Fair) and looked at some of the artwork and waterfalls there, and then walked back to the Riverwalk, grabbed a bite of lunch, and left the downtown area of San Antonio.

On the grounds of HemisFair Park

Where does this door lead?

I thought this was a pretty carving.

I'm pretending to nap...walking around is hard.

Yummy Mexican! We split the margarita. The queso was spectacular!


Next up, we went to Gruene, TX to meet Adam's cousins, Tim & Jackie and their cute little kids Naomi and TJ. We met them halfway between Austin (their town) and San Antonio. Gruene is a quaint old town with some good wineries (Adam and I picked up a bottle!) and a well-known dance hall. Adam went there with friends several times when he lived in San Antonio, so I'm glad I got a chance to see it! We wandered around the antique shops with Tim, Jackie, Naomi, and TJ, so that was great fun!

Driving to Gruene.

An artistic Gruene shot (if I do say so myself).

Very true signs.

The famous Gruene dance hall.

I tried to get Adam to dance for me....but he refused. kinda.

Lots of beautiful planters

We tried to get a formal picture, but settled for informal instead.

When in Texas, one has to try on cowboy hats.

Wow--this hat's a big honking hat!

Adam chose a very funny hat! Naomi looks like a cowgirl.

Why, look who is in Texas! :)


Then, early the next day, it was time to leave San Antonio. Sad. :(

Our fantastic rental car!
(Thank goodness Adam drove...triple boo to SA traffic.)

Sad to leave San Antonio...

Bye-bye, San Antonio! We want to come back soon!!
