Traveling makes me happy. This past week we were fortunate to get away for a little while on a small trip.
For our summer vacation, my husband and kiddos took a little trip down to San Antonio from our home in the Dallas area. It’s not a terribly long drive (about 5 hours without traffic or stops), but it is remarkable how it feels quite different from the part of Texas where we live. It’s no secret that Texas is a big state, full of diverse places and people and culture, so it shouldn’t surprise me when I get a chance to explore to see how different a new area can be from our own.
We have enjoyed exploring Texas with the kids now and hope to venture further out as the kids get a little bigger. But even if we stay in Texas for awhile, it’s cool to realize how much there is still to explore. 🙂
For my post this week I thought I would share some pictures so you can take a little trip as well. Enjoy! And have a great week! ~CJS
San Antonio Riverwalk from our boat tour.
A Mariachi band surprise serenedes a mom as she walked with her baby down the Riverwalk.
I love all the bridges to cross from one side of Riverwalk to the other side. I also enjoyed the flowers. 🙂
Beautiful mosiac art
Tower of the Americas
Alamo Street
The Alamo
Beautiful tree in the courtyard near the Alamo
Lots of rock walls like this, with the plants growing all along them. Very pretty.

Beautiful pictures!
Awesome pictures – so refreshing. We have to be open to what is possible and look for the beauty around us and take time to appreciate it.
