Anniversary in San Antonio, TX

Each year Peter and I take a trip over Labor Day weekend to celebrate our anniversary.  This year frequent flier miles landed us in San Antonio, TX for the weekend.  The two things we were told by several people to make sure we did while in San Antonio was walk the River Walk and eat at Boudro’s making sure to order the guacamole made table side.

What else did we get into? Well, we found the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch African Safari – Texas Style. AWESOME. A 4 mile drive through 400 acres of Texas hill country to see some of the over 500 animals. Some close, some not so close and some a little too close. Check it out:

If you ever find yourself in San Antonio, TX, we recommend you check out the River Walk, guacamole at Boudro’s and the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch. Oh and don’t bother with the extra bag of food…you don’t need it.
