Off The Map..so to speak

We went to San Antonio for Easter weekend. Just the two of us. Alone. It was really restful. We stayed at the historic Menger Hotel, right across the street from the Alamo. For those of you not in-the-know about Texas History: The Menger Bar (we discovered that the only Texas beer in the place by the way is Lone Star, a sin) is where Teddy Roosevelt (not yet president, obviously) organized the Rough Riders for the Spanish American War.
We had to pay homage to the Alamo. Especially since had been 175 years since the battle of the Alamo. One thing we both realized is how much we really have in common. It was great to get to know Wes again. You're reminded of what you bring out in each other. We both love Texas and Texas History, we really enjoy staying in old hotels, going to see natural wonders.
The River Walk is more crowded than it used to be, so on Saturday, we trudged a half hour north to Natural Bridge Caverns. Totally cool! I highly recommend it if you're under 5' 10" tall. We just spent time together. It was my anniversary gift from Wes. I also learned how to play Gin. I'm admittedly terrible but, with time I'll improve.

After this vacation, we decided that we're going to try to get away once a year to have a vacation. It doesn't have to be fancy. We merely have to leave town and everything that entails. Vacate your life. It will be there when you return. It's good for you and your relationship.
