natural bridge wildlife ranch.

husband and i spent the afternoon at the wildlife ranch in san antonio. we fed animals  through the window of our jeep. we even had an ostrich traffic jam. amazing. have a wonderful weekend! next week will be all about music we heard live at sxsw.

downtown san antonio.

  

we stopped for the evening in san antonio to see the town and river walk. the river walk was lovely ... we felt like we got a little taste of europe. we also were able to see the san fernando cathedral.

spring in austin.

 

austin was beautiful. i could not get over how green everything was and how lovely all of their trees were. i also loved walking along the river right next to the city. there were all kinds of kayakers, rowing teams, and bikers. i loved it! if only husband and i would have brought our kayaks along. maybe next year.

downtown austin.

  

husband and i enjoyed many things in austin. stopping by the sxsw interactive nokia lab and nike+. there were food trucks everywhere ... including some free grub. we ate several times at la cafe' crepe not for free but so delicious. we saw a lot of silly things driving in austin ... one was a giant plastic owl on top of a truck. while looking for a place to have lunch i stumbled upon some amazing graffiti. the sun finally came out. husband and i splurged on dinner out at Z Tejas Southwestern Grill.
