Posting has been light for the past week as I have once again gone "off grid." This time, we went to Austin, Texas for a family friend’s Bar Mitzvah, and then took a couple of extra days to take our 5-year old son to SeaWorld San Antonio.
I brought the laptop in case something came up, but resisted the temptation to go online. 🙂 I do promise to get back into a regular posting schedule but in the meantime, should you be planning a trip to Austin/San Antonio, here are some of our highlights from this most recent trip.
Austin: The Texas State History Museum and Zilker Park / Barton Springs. Hotel: Mansion at Judges’ Hill
San Antonio: At SeaWorld, if you can, Dine with Shamu. It gets you quite close to the whales for an extended period of time, but warning: it is NOT the show with all the feats of daring, so make sure you see the regular Shamu show as well. And touristy though it may be, you have to eat at a place on the Riverwalk at least once. People watching at its finest. Hotel: Marriott Riverwalk.
That’s it for the travelogue. We will return to our regular marketing topics later this week.
And I will leave you with a quote from Davy Crockett. After losing re-election to the Congress in his native Tennessee, the 50-year old Crockett said:
"Since you have chosen to elect a man with a timber toe to succeed me, you may all go to hell and I will go to Texas."

Susan:
San Antonio is one of my favorite places to visit. The La Mansion del Rio is a great hotel … more authentic than the Marriott.

Welcome to my home town of SA and my work town of Austin! I get the best of both worlds! 😉
