Down in San Antonio

So the 4th of July was a quit boring day . There was no BBQ , There was swimming. I honestly can’t even tell you what we had for dinner. The fun began Friday . I wanted to go to Big Shell. But it was a holiday weekend. However nobody wants to travel 60miles down the beach line. But then there’s the interstate that has ridiculous travelers so we decided to wait.

So instead we went to San Antonio . When you have lived there and really didn’t do anything. Why would we visit?  But I didn’t not complain or miss the opportunity to leave town. We went to the river walk I was adventurous and tried their 32oz Jalapeno Margarita it was no Cork n Pig . But it was okay .

Jalapeno Margarita

Visited the an antique store that was HOT three stories of no air conditioning just little fans. I have no idea why we did this. We knew there was no air conditioning when we set out to do this . Thank goodness I had the margaritas it made me kind of not care to much . It all seriousness it’s a really good junk store and the record store has anything you could ever want . But you should go in the dead of winter.

I found Jesus !

So there is this Turkish store . And I love the chandeliers . But there is no place in my house for one of these things . If we had built a house in Midland I might have been able to get one. But as of right now. NO. And after looking at them I might be able to make one. Until then are you ready ? I got an eyeball ! It’s suppose to bring you good luck .

Derek wanted a Target cause he had been to two not finding what he wanted .  Third time is a charm ,The liquor store was in order cause as he pointed out. I apparently only put myself in the car. Then off to La Fogata . And I will never recommend anyone eating there. The food leaves much to be desired . I mean who puts mushrooms on a nacho ? But the margaritas are delicious. And you really only need one. But who am I to judge if you order two. But please have a driver. Last I heard Uber was not allowed in San Antonio. So Good Luck.

I could not find a hotel room in San Antonio . And to be honest. I only looked at the ones who gave us points. . So Pleasanton ,Tx it was. 30 miles away . We could have cared less. We drove 30miles to that HEB when we lived there to buy groceries.

Saturday was the most humid day ever . Lets  just say the hair was in a knot . And I had the bright idea of visiting a mission . Not sure what I was thinking . Which ended up be the wrong mission . However , we found the correct one Mission Espada. It was rock and pretty with 3 bells and everyone was taking family pictures in front of it’s doors. Why? Of all the doors in San Antonio . The other mission had doors and nobody was using it’s doors. Anyway it took awhile . Over it took forever. But I got my picture.

Derek wanted to go to the Pearl . And I cannot tell you or make you understand how humid it was.There was no breeze. We walked around and decided we should head home and made a pitstop in Kerrville for some Italian. And to home we went to get out Toby . And to make another concrete table in the rain .

Pearl
no idea why we made another one

All in all it was a good holiday weekend . The beach will always be there. I will get to Big Shell eventually. Let’s see what the new week brings. Until til next time .
