San Antonio, Texas

Summer is in full swing with the hot temperatures.  I can not remember how many consecutive days of temperature over 100 we are on at the moment, but it is H-O-T!  We are in town this week for Colin's last competition as a 4-H member so I just had to spend one day doing a little bit of something new.  Since Colin thinks he is the best driver, I am letting him drive all week . . . y'all my nerves are a bit frazzled but also know he needs to experience.  Thank goodness for gps and voice guidance because I can not imagine how he would arrive anywhere without it.  We are heading downtown San Antonio for a bit of local culture and food.  Our first stop is Casa Navarro.
Casa Navarro is a historic site in San Antonio, Bexar County, in the U.S. state of Texas. The original house complex was the residence of Texas patriot José Antonio Navarro, a rancher, merchant, leading advocate for Tejano rights, and one of only two native-born Texans to sign the Texas Declaration of Independence.
In the middle of a thriving downtown city, history is preserved!    Honestly, I don't remember learning about José Antonio Navarro as a student that took Texas History twice.  We I enjoyed walking around and reading about Navarro.  Life was so simple back then! 
A quick walk across the street is one place I always visit when in town, Market Square!  It is so festive and fun and usually full of people.  Our goal was to eat lunch at the ever popular Mi Tierra Cafe.  I was surprised how busy it was on a Wednesday.
And just like that my level of fun for the day was over as we had to return so Colin could practice for his competition.  For the next four days this will be my view during the day . . . 
. . . and my afternoon view at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort pool and lazy river!
Followed by nightly s'mores around the campfire even if it is before dark.
