the Rivercenter in San Antonio


From July 25-29 John and I spent some time in Austin, Texas visiting John's grandparents. It was the first time that I've ever been to Texas and overall I enjoyed the trip except for the heat. John's whole family ended up going so it was nice to have some quality time with the in-laws. We spent most of our time on Saturday visiting with family at the reunion and then we headed for the lake that was right by John's grandparents' house. Then on Sunday we had lunch at grandpa's favorite restaurant called Luby's. This place is so popular in Texas. It's like an upgraded buffet style restaurant. Then we spent some more time on the lake. It was a blast. Then on Monday, John and I went to San Antonio by ourselves because everyone else already went on Friday. We checked out the Alamo which was pretty neat and then we went on a boat ride on the Riverwalk.  San Antonio is such a great city! After all that we headed for the mall and then we went to dinner at a place called Thai Lao. We filled up on amazing Thai/Vietnamese food. I ordered pad si ew and John had a vietnamese omelet. It was delicious.  We spent our last night at John's grandparents' house then we left on Tuesday morning. Thanks everyone for such a great trip!
