San Antonio or Spokane?

That was the question when we decided we would go out of town for our 29th anniversary. We went to Spokane two years ago for adoption training with Kingdom Kids and loved the walk around the River that they have there. On the other hand I had gone to San Antonio earlier this year when Nathan graduated from boot camp and knew that the Riverwalk was just as fun.

I went to the Southwest web site and compared tickets. We also looked into Utah, Denver, San Francisco, but had narrowed it down to those Spokane or San Antonio. We decided on Spokane since Steve had been there and wasn't too sure he really wanted to go to San Antonio where he had never been.

I booked our tickets for Spokane, reserved a room at the Oxford Suites, and we were set to go. That was until the Sunday before we were supposed to leave. I received an email confirmation of our flight from San Diego to San Antonio. San Antonio?!! What?!!!!!! I had made the reservations for the wrong city!!!

I found Steve in our room watching the Charger game and broke the news to him. He really wasn't interested at the time because the Chargers were playing. He told me to cancel our room in Spokane and reserve a room in San Antonio. So I did. I found a Courtyard Marriott on the Riverwalk that was only a year old. Yeah!!!

We had a great time. We walked, we ate, we took in some IMAX movies, saw San Antonio Rose Live!, and lounged around. Poor Steve has been getting a lot of ribbing from his friends over this. I say I just keep him on his toes, he never knows what I have in store for him. He just needs to be ready for whatever it is. After 34 years I keep it interesting-to say the least. ;D
