Stop #3: San Antonio, TX

Spurs Game
Still wearing shorts in December at Sea World

...the great state of Texas. We are in the 7th largest city in the US...San Antonio. We have been here since the end of Sept. and we are ready to move on. For some reason I keep having to extend my contact for two weeks at a time (I'll get to that story later). San Antonio has been fun. The best thing here is the mexican food...YUM!!! We have been to Sea World, a Spurs game, underground Caverns, Wurstfest, Downtown, the River walk and of course the Alamo. We have also eaten at the BBQ Capitol of Texas. I guess that it was good...I wouldn't know, but I think Patrick enjoyed it! I got to spend my birthday here in TX so we went up in the Tower of the Americas for dinner and that was a pretty awesome view of San Antonio. The weather is crazy here. One day it's 80 degrees and the next it's 50 degrees. The wind blows like crazy. While we were here we had some awesome guests. Brian was the first to come out west to visit....as a matter of fact Brian is the ONLY friend that has come to see us every place we have been. Thanks Brian...I hope to see you soon in Cali! Patrick's Mom and Larry also came to visit and we had an awesome time with them...I think they will fly out next time though ;) Larry seems to have a lead foot once he gets past the Lousiana border ;) It was nice to have my parents and brother out here for Christmas!

One of the coolest things we have discovered here is Oak Hills Church, which happens to be the church Max Lacado is the senior pastor. For those of you who don't know who Max is, he is one of today's best selling Christian authors. We have really enjoyed this church!
