For the 4th of July, I was wondering what would I do with the family. Sam asked me if I had arranged something and I said no. So, then, I tried to look up at the online travel sight and looked at some hotel in San Antonio. It would be nice to go there just for one night trip and see the firework or whatever they have for 4th of July celebration.
The hotels of course were so pricey, especially the ones along the riverwalk. So then I went to the Priceline website that have ‘name your own price’ facility. Then I put $99 just for the fun of it for the 4 or higher stars hotels along Riverwalk area. And within one minute I got a confirmation that my price was approved and they put me on Omni de la Mansion…the hotel that usually charge $200 a night. Wow…I was so happy but then I was not sure whether we could go there..it was just sort of a last minute deal for us. We had to find a place for Wilson (our dog) because although the hotel allow dog, but bringing dog for a fun trip would be such a good idea for our family, especially a dog like Wilson….;) if you know what I meant.
So, after a day looking for a boarding home for Wilson with no result, because of the 4th of July weekend, we decided that Sam stayed home with Wilson and I would drive with the boys to San Antonio.
So, on Friday the 3rd, I packed up a duffel bag and drove to SA with the boys. It only took us an hour from Austin to San Antonio and we arrived in one of the nice hotels in SA. We went sightseeing, taking a cruise along the riverwalk, eating sushi and so on, we had some fun…. Of course we missed Sam that had to stay home with Wilson…but then again, he liked to be home than being among lots of people in SA for 4th of July weekend…;)
So here some pics of us:
