San Antonio Convention










This is the River Boat that we rode around the Riverwalk in San Antonio, if you have never been there, this place is amazing, like a little city in the middle of the city, resturants, hotels, I-Max, a mall, city buildings, the convention center ect. They all connect to the riverwalk.

This was one of the amazing buildings, can't remember what it was though.




This was way crazy, this tree is growing right out of the wall.




This waterfall was on the Riverwalk, it was gorgeous but not my favorite place as a bird decided to leave its mark down my shoulder while I was taking pictures. (It was disgusting.)




One night NATA hosted the Welcome Reception in a place called La Villita. They had all kinds of games and things to do here. I challenged two of my college friends to a race. Bruce won (obviously) then Dave, I got killed.




This was a huge obstacle course, wishing my kids had been with me to play on these.


The ALAMO


We took pictures at night when it was cool then visited the museum part when it was open in the day. Lots of Texas history here.












Had a wonderful time. The keynote speakers were two Athletic Trainers who told about the aftermath of the Marshall University plane crash in 1970. It was absolutely riveting and I don't think there was a dry eye in the place. It was an amazing experience. Went to some great classes. Survived the 95 degree weather with 65% humidity.
