Riverwalk

Last Saturday we decided that we couldn't leave San Antonio without having a real Riverwalk experience. So we drove downtown and took a boat tour. We got a brief history of the downtown area and the Riverwalk and Ben took some pictures of the surrounding architecture for a presentation that he has at the end of his internship.
We decided that our downtown experience wouldn't be complete without eating lunch along the river, so we stopped at one of my favorite restaurants, Chili's. We got a table outside, next to the river and listened to a live Peruvian band play some awesome music! Here is a short sample of what we heard (note that the quality of the music is diminished when recorded on a point-and-shoot camera...it was much better in person!):

There were a couple of downsides to eating outside:
-Pidgeons everywhere! They were trying to get free hand-outs. A family got up to leave and before the bus boy could get there to clear it off, the pidgeons swarmed the table and started feasting on the leftovers!
-Smokers.

HOWEVER, there were also some great things about our lunch:
-It was nicer to eat outside on a shaded patio than inside with the A/C turned up way too high.
-The live band outside was way cooler than the radio inside.
-The food was awesome. What could be better than a large green salad on a hot day? Yum!
-The dessert made everything worth it! A chocolate chip cookie cake, chocolate fudge, and vanilla ice cream with a chocolately shell all on the same plate? HEAVEN!
I love this picture of us. And I love my husband! We have so much fun together. It is wonderful to be married to my best friend. Thanks for such a fun day, sweetheart!
