Miss Alamo City

We came to UTSA so that I could take some video and pictures and ended up at the Fiesta on the Plaza. We ran into Miss Alamo City who insisted on taking a picture with my daughter for her Facebook page. It turns out that the Ambassador was one of the first to work with David Robinson in taking the first cohort of students in the college prep program from elementary to college.

Easter Sunday

It was a wonderful Easter Sunday. The family got together and had BBQ. It was a nice holiday to enjoy with the family, and the day was a nice break from a rather busy Spring. I hope that it sets the mood for the summer arriving in almost no time flat.

Sea World

I am grateful that summer is right around the corner. We were able to enjoy a day of swimming at Sea World. The weather was great, and the water was refreshing. Since we have year passes, we were able to go into the park, swim, and leave within three hours, spending little money.

Hispanic Elvis

We met up with the self-proclaimed Hispanic Elvis. I've seen him all over town, but he lives on my side of town. I think it's great that he portrays Elvis and keeps true to the role. Everybody says that he is crazy, but I think he is unique. His life is dedicated to greeting people and causing shock and awe. I truly am proud that he is a part of the San Antonio ambiance.

Fiesta 2014

I'm grateful that the city extended Fiesta to two weeks. We are always very busy. We came to Fiesta early this year in case we couldn't make it out later. We always miss Fiesta. Now, we still have some time to make it out to another event.

Disney On Ice

I'm grateful that we've been able to make it out to all of these events since my daughter has been born. We have so many pictures of the magic that Disney creates on this tour. I'm glad that it is as interesting for us as it is for my daughter. And we got pretty good seats this year!

The Tower of the Americas

I'm grateful for the Tower in San Antonio. It makes San Antonio unique. It also brings in a lot of revenue from tourists who come to visit the Tower. It has also signified the San Antonio Spurs amongst other things. It brings great pride to our city, and I am very proud to say that I am from the Alamo city where the Tower resides.

Incredible

We spent the day at Incredible Pizza. We saw this game and we had to immediately play it. It's a Pacman like game where we start off playing air hockey and then about 20 more pucks get introduced. This repeats itself one more time during the game. By the end of the game, we can finally look up at the score. It was a great way to spend time with the family.

Texas Rangers

I'm so glad that there is another sport that I can watch while there is nothing else interesting on television to watch. I have the NBA League Pass to watch most games, but the games tonight were not interesting. I picked the winners out-front, and turned on the Texas Rangers. Oh, look, extended play at the bottom of the 10th.

Basketball

I am grateful that my daughter has somewhere to play basketball. If anything, I am grateful that she knows the difference between sports. I asked her to name a sport, and she said Baseball by looking at the sport. At least she'll know what it consists of to play basketball.

Rodeo

I am grateful that we have such a great rodeo come to our hometown every year. We don't make it out to the rodeo every year, but this year we did. I am glad we were able to make out and that my daughter was able to ride a horse again. She loves animals and especially loves horses. She is both afraid of them and loves them. I'm happy that she was given another opportunity to get familiar with them, so that she can appreciate them more.

Time Machine

I am grateful that there are businesses that cater to the experience of a visit to their establishment. Having Cat Woman be our waitress was exciting to this little one. At the end of the day, she got her face painted. Places like The Magic Time Machine and Build-A-Bear Workshop make the trip to the place well worth it. I hope this teaches her that ordinary things like eating dinner or buying a bear can be exciting if you change it up a little with imagination, a valuable lesson in life.

Rubik's Cube

I'm glad someone invented this cube. Especially on a Monday, this cube makes the day go by faster and smoother. It also helps in turning my mind on for and find creative ways of solving problems, and it's right on my desk.
