San Antonio--Riverwalk, Hotel and Mercado

From Dallas our next stop on our spring break road trip was San Antonio. The four hour drive took us through Burleson, Texas (My mom's maiden name is Burleson) as well as Waco, Texas, where Grandpa Frank Burleson grew up.

Upon reaching San Antonio, we found our hotel: El Tropicano. The hotel, located on the famous Riverwalk, was straight out of the 1950's. It was so retro that it was back in style again! http://www.eltropicanohotel.com/

After a walk along the Riverwalk, we headed to El Mercado (San Antonio's Historic Market District) for some authentic Mexican food. We ate at the famous Mi Tierra restaurant. Any president visiting this city eats here at least once - and there is a wall of fame to prove it. The boys had a blast looking at all the decorations, listening to the live mariachi music and taking in the wonderful smells of fresh baked sweets. http://www.mitierracafe.com/

We walked back to the hotel along the Riverwalk and enjoyed a late night swim in our swanky hotel pool.
