River Cruise and Date Night

After the Alamo it was time to hit the River Walk.  This is a San Antonio Staple.  

It is a commercial river area that you can walk or take a river cruise and learn a little bit of history.  Of course we had to try that (Doesn't Harper look SO little?!?!)

Like her mom she wanted to be in the water!

The kids all had a good time, at least for the first 15 minutes.  Kara and Devin looking good!

Maren and Brody enjoy the trip. The tour guide was good but since it was over four months ago I really don't remember anything he said.

After a busy day we left the kids at home with a couple of sitters and hit an adult only date night!  We went back to the river walk and ate at an amazing BBQ place.  There was a little bit of a wait so Brent and I went to explore.

We found an awesome bridge and Brent began to capture the beauty of the river walk.

I think he did a pretty good job.  I was telling Brent that Las Vegas doesn't have something like this.  Yes, we have the strip but it is dirty (physically and spiritually), crowded, hot, smelly, and overall pretty uninteresting if you don't drink and gamble.  

Brent had some fun taking random pictures of me.  It was really fun to remember what travelling without Harper was like.  I find I am a lot more patient now!

Dinner was great.  We had a waiter who found our conversation so interesting he often lingered and offered his own insight... which also gave us a little more to talk about!  After dinner we took a little walk and all had to get our couple pictures with Saint Antonio himself!

Kara and Doug!

Maren and Blake!

Date nights are so fun, especially when they are with the people you do not get to see often enough!
