Dear Hubby and I recently shared our 3rd Anniversary together. We celebrated this weekend in San Antonio. Yesterday was spent on the famous
River Walk including dinner reservations at
Landry's Seafood. We had such a wonderful time and the food was great! Here are some photos of our evening...

We also made plans to visit the
Alamo and the
San Antonio Missions State Historic Park today, as well as some other possibilities depending on time. What we didn't count on was a Marathon.
While we were downtown last night we kept seeing signs that said the Alamo would be closed today due to the Marathon. Then as we were driving back to the hotel we saw signs on the freeway notifying us that the freeway would be closed for the marathon. Being a little concerned by this, when we got back to the hotel last night I did some research about this so called marathon. What I learned was it is the
San Antonio Rock-N'-Roll Marathon and there would be events happening all day long. In fact I looked up the map of the road closures and it pretty much confirmed that it would be impossible for us to go anywhere near downtown San Antonio today. Here is what I saw....
SCARY!
So at this point we decided to find something else to do today, but everything that looked good took us back through the downtown area. I have to admit I was discouraged, after all I wanted to visit San Antonio to see and do the things we had planned. My DH, however, was not discouraged at all!
After breakfast this morning we loaded up and headed back towards home. DH wanted to drive through
New Braunfel's, which is a quaint German
town city with much to see and do and experience. I loved the town immediately. The park was awesome! We got some information about a recreational area where we could drive along the Guadalupe River for miles, and where we could even spend some time (in the summer months) canoeing. The drive was spectacular! The fall colors were amazing! Here are a few photos...

I was reminded today that "Life is what happens in between your plans". I had all kinds of plans made for today, and pretty much most of those plans did not work out. Instead we went with whichever way the wind blew (so to speak)... and I am glad we did or I would have missed out on this!
A good lesson learned!
I am so thankful for my Dear Hubby who never lets anything discourage him and for reminding me of all the good that came out of not following our plans. I love you sweetheart! Happy Anniversary!
P.S. I REALLY enjoyed the 80 to 89 degree temperatures we had this weekend. It was perfect!
(Yes I am trying to make all of you jealous who are experiencing the cold winter weather)
