On The Road Again......

We headed out to San Antonio on a very rainy day

I doubt anybody from Alabama is surprised about that






Big Bridges are always a part of getting to Josh


We finally made it to our hotel in 13 hours

mostly through bad weather



We were ready for some supper

We went to the Market Square

and ate some great

southwestern food


We went to the team hotel after we ate



Josh met us downstairs at 10:00

The team stopped and practiced at Texas Tech

and got to their hotel around 7

Josh had coaches meetings while we were eating supper


Boy, it always feels so good

to put my arms around Josh



Saturday morning we went to the River Walk


It is great

If you have never been

you need to go


We were surrounded by Washington State

and Notre Dame football fans

They were playing in San Antonio that day


We ate at the Mad Dog Pub


We asked to be seated where we could watch the

Auburn game


The TV on the right is Auburn


How funny to be watching an

Alabama team

surrounded by Texas, Washington State

and Notre Dame people

and we had on ASU clothes


I love it

Football trips are so much fun


And on a side note

Great job Auburn



Here's a funny


Saturday night after the game

We went back to the River Walk to eat supper


We sat where a TV was available to see the games

Tennessee was on when we sat down


The waiter changed the TV back to the Texas game


As we were watching and eating

A guy came by dressed like "Jason"

It was Halloween night


He stopped to watch a Texas play


Texas was winning


He assumed that we were Texas fans....I guess

We had on Southern Arkansas colors but nothing that said anything about football


After the good play that Texas made

he turned to us and tipped his hat down


On the rim it was showing 4 Texas Championships

He pointed this out to John


John didn't skip a beat

as he said


Where we are from

we have

12

They won't fit on a hat rim


The guy had been walking off as he tipped his hat to show the

Championships on his rim


After John said what he did

The guy stopped for a minute


You could tell he was thinking


Then with great sportsmanship


He tipped his hat to us


Of course, Texas went ahead of us in the polls


I am glad

I think we do better when we aren't ranked

#1

Now we have to fight back

Let's hope we do!
River Walk during the day
River Walk at night


The weather was great the whole time we were in Texas

Here is another funny......or not so funny


About two hours into our trip

We realized that we

had forgotten the

GPS


You know how you say

I wonder what we did without ______


Well, we found out

what we did without a

GPS


It wasn't pretty


We were fine until

we got into downtown

San Antonio


If we had seen a

Wal Mart

I would have just bought one!


We will never forget

the

GPS

again!

San Antonio is a great city. Chuck was deployed there for 6 months. When the children finished school for the summer, we were able to go and stay with him until he got released. I wanted him to stay for another 6 months so that we could stay with him. It will always be one of my favorite places.

Glad you got to go and enjoy the city and putting your arms around your little boy.
