    What to do in San Antonio, Texas

    March 19, 2018 /

      Waking one early March morning to admire yet another stunning Michigan snowfall , we readily hopped a plane that afternoon to sunny San Antonio. San Antonio is a relaxing sort of town in which you can stroll the River Walk, enjoy some excellent food, and just pop over to the Alamo for a quick (or not so quick) history lesson. Here are some of the highlights:

    Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road: San Antonio, a Free Packing Printable, Butterflies, and Salamander Green

    March 16, 2018 /

      Happy Friday! Last week at this time we were in warm and sunny San Antonio, Texas. Did you know that San Antonio is celebrating its 300th birthday this year?! This is the second city we’ve visited in the last 6 months that is celebrating 300. Maybe in addition to visiting as many Frank Lloyd Wright homes as possible (see this post if you missed it), I’ll also visit as many cities turning 300 in this coming year! More on San Antonio next week, including where to eat and what to do.

    Friday Finds on Mackinaw Road: Little Passports, Mahabis Slippers and Shiplap

    February 16, 2018 /

    Happy Friday! Once again this week has flown by. Even though this winter has been snowy in Michigan, it seems like we’ve seen the sun more often, which is a welcome surprise. Nonetheless, it is always so nice to have a “look forward to” in order to make it through February. We are headed to San Antonio, my first time to Texas, and I’m looking for all of your suggestions! I am also wondering if I should stay in San Antonio for the 4 days or recruit someone to drive the three hours to The Silos. What do you think?
