The University of Texas vs BYU game was on September 10, 2011. We spent the night in Austin with Jared but then dropped him off at the airport and we headed south on a mini-vacation. I figured that since we were back in Texas, why not travel to see Kingsville and Corpus. But first we stopped at the small town of Gruene.
Gruene is full of cute shops and antique stores plus some restaurants. On a Sunday morning, it was bustling!
Looky what we found!!! Looks like Grandma Merrick's old doll buggy! I think it was priced in the $200's.
This hall used to be where country singers got their start. It has hosted George Strait, Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett and many others. It has also been shown in movies. John Travolta made a movie in it. Since it was Sunday, there was a breakfast/revival meeting going on in there.
After walking around Gruene, we headed down to San Antonio...not too far away. While we were in Texas, they were having horrible fires. Here is one not too far from San Antonio. Many houses had already burned to the ground near Austin so smoke was everywhere.
Coming into San Antonio!
We stayed at the Westin. Expensive!

Our view from our balcony. Below is the riverwalk.
Downtown. I love the architecture of the old buildings!
The Alamo. It was September 11th--the reason for the wreath.
The police on the river.
After the birds moved and the table was cleaned off, we moved to this table! We wanted to be right next to the water!
After our dinner, we went on a river tour.
Where we ate. Good food!
Look closely at this building.......
Hahaha! See the different faces! Love it!
