San Antonio River Walk

July 25, 2024 - Reading time: 7 minutes

My love and I explored the river walk just after sunset on a busy Friday night and opted for a steak dinner at The Lonestar Cafe.  This was Texas after all.  The service was on point and a young couple played acoustic guitars in the dining room corner.  A delightful experience.

 

Afterwards, on the recommendation of a friend, we enjoyed a nightcap at Devils River Whiskey Distillery, where just watching the staff carefully craft the cocktails was a treat in itself. 

Before turning in, we took in the view of the city skyline from the hotel’s rooftop deck.  

The next morning, we headed back to the rooftop after breakfast for a dip in the pool.   Our sons were kind enough to drive down from their house in Austin to check out San Antonio with us by daylight.  We ate lunch on the river walk, this time at a British pub, then walked off our calories indoors on a lovely afternoon visit to the Briscoe Western Art Museum.  

Late afternoon found the four of us grabbing pick-me-up goodies to share at Voodoo Doughnut and iced coffees from La Vida where we played a table top game while enjoying the brews.  It was really great catching up and this momma’s heart is so full with the gift of quality time spent with her adult children. Travel is fun.  Delicious food is wonderful.  But family is EVERYTHING.  <3
