Our 1st Anniversary!!!

Well folks, Conor and I have survived our first year of marriage! So a celebration was in order and we traveled to San Antonio for a getaway. Our schedules have been busy lately, so it was only overnight. But we stayed in a beautiful hotel right on the river walk. It was an interesting city with loads of character. I am dying to go back again and take photos. Did I mention the humidity level was also lower? Loved that!!! We only took one camera and had to share. Plus the little point-and-shoot camera died last month. So we have no photos of the two of us and were limited on images, but still have some fun shots. More are posted on our photo blog: www.daynaphoto.blogspot.com if you want to really blow your minds! lol

We walked around parts of the river walk, took a boat tour, ate some magnificent food, toured the Alamo (of course!), watched a street painter using aerosol paint, listened to the "preacher" at night belting out how we're all sinners, looked at several of the other missions in San Antonio, lounged at the pool, listened to a mariachi band, took photos at night, and one of the highlights--we were wedding crashers!!! That's right, our hotel posted a wedding was taking place the evening we stayed there. Our room was on the first balcony, providing a bird's eye view of the small courtyard wedding below. We decided we could take better photos than their photographer and decided to grab the camera and see what we could get. Not bad for hand holding on the balcony, trying to be stealthy. It provided some entertainment and we enjoyed the moment! :)
