Valentine’s day was in two days, so we decided to go to San Antonio, Texas; we thought it might be an ideal romantic place to visit. We took off on Friday morning, so we could have 3 days wonderful days to play and explore.

I looked up on the Internet for the better hotels in San Antonio to stay at, I rented a car online and I looked up some places of interest just in case we leave our hotel suite. Believe it or not, that only took my 10 minutes! 10 minutes to book a room, rent a car and find fun places to check out! I don’t know what I’d do if there wasn’t the Internet. I mean, how did  people do it without the Internet? How?!?

We started out at 5am in the morning to beat all the rush hour traffic, we put one hundred miles on the rental, when my husband realized he left his wallet at the car rental place. I was a bit peeved for only a minute, but as we were heading back, I remember one time when I left my purse at home and we had to turn around when we were 300 miles out! So, I began to laugh and so did my husband, we were even!

When we got to the car rental place, they were ready for us, they had my husbands wallet and gladly turned it over to him. We were back on the road, still missing the rush hour and we made good time (speeding) and made it to San Marcos by 9am. We stopped off at a donut shop and downed a couple of donuts with coffee. We reached San Antonio around 10am and before we checked in to our hotel, we headed to the Alamo. At the Alamo we saw the 1845 war reenacted by city volunteers all dressed in 1845 garb. The Alamo was a Spanish missionary, which became an important landmark for San Antonio, it’s where The Texas War of Independence took place and where many Texan soldiers died.

After the Alamo, we headed to our hotel and checked in. I have a few more places of interest to check out while we’re here, I just don’t know if will get a chance to leave our room.
