Just Go (#19)
In July 2016 from New Mexico we went East and explored a little bit of the Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Salt Flat TX.
But my most memorable trip in The Lone Star State was during the Yelp Spring Break in San Antonio on May 2017. It was my 2nd YSB experience before Yelp discontinued them (not sure if they did permanently).
Most of the events were centered in San Antonio. We held events in Downtown and the River Walk:
* The Vistana - rooftop pool party
* Food Tour that included samplings from Ocho (inside Hotel Havana), TacoLand Riverwalk, Paesanos Riverwalk, La Boulangerie, and Zinc Bistro & Wine Bar
* Briscoe Western Art Museum - Dia de Los Muertos themed Fiesta for Cinco de Mayo
* UYE at the Hard Rock Cafe
* The St Anthony Hotel - masquerade ball
* Hemisfair
* UYE brunch at the Pigpen
... it was hott, hott, hott in San Antonio but we had so much fun!
Everything's BIG in TEXAS! Our home away from home was at WorldMark New Braunfels. The unit had a maximum occupancy of 6. It was a freakin' house. LoL
Between the YSBSA events we did a little exploring on our own:
AT&T Center - Home of the San Antonio Spurs (at the time of our visit the Spurs were away playing Game 3 in Houston)
San Antonio River Walk - iconic landmark
The Alamo - historic!
Mission San José y San Miguel de Aguayo
Tower of the Americas Observation Deck / Chart House
Animal World & Snake Farm Zoo
Texas has a plethora of delish and famous foods, but the main two are Chili and BBQ. There's a first for everything... it was my first time having a kolache when we stopped at Shipley Donuts. Had Texas-style BBQ at Rudy's Country Store & BBQ in Selma and not too far from it we found a Boba Tea Lounge and got my boba fix ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you, Great State of Texas!
