San Antonio, TX!

    Mary and I made it.  999.6 miles from the driveway of where we stayed in Phoenix to the driveway we arrived at in San Antonio.  But we made it, with only a few stops for gas.  It was the only drive that we've done with any driving occurring after dark.  And Texas is kind of bizarre - they have a daytime speed limit of 80 and a night time speed limit of 65.  We guessed it's because of animals and making sure you don't hit a deer going 80 mph.
    In San Antonio we are staying with Mary's brother, Peter.  Yesterday he took us to the San Antonio Riverwalk.  You walk along the San Antonio river underneath all of the streets - I have pictures - it'll make more sense when you see it.  You can also take a little boat tour along the river, and we did that too.  Last night we went to the most amazing adventure ever - the Alamo Drafthouse.
    Get this:  it's a movie theatre and a restaurant...all in one.  You buy your admission to the movie and in front of your seat is a little table with a menu and a piece of paper to write down your order.  Then they come around and deliver your food during the movie.  It sounds like it would be distracting - but here's the best part.  You can order beer and beverages with your orders!  It was fantastic getting to watch Get Smart with a pint.  Washington has got to adopt this type of entertainment.
    Today we are going to Sea World.  I'm excited.  I've never been.  There will be lots of pictures there I'm sure.  I'll try to get some up tomorrow.
