Goodbye Chicago. Hello San Antonio!! I am off to spend a few days at Stampin' Up!s Leadership Conference in sunny San Antonio. This is just one of the few things I love about my job. I mean who wouldn't love training in January in a nice warm location, being able to visit places you've never been before?
As I left my home in Naperville the weather was beginning to turn. It started raining on our way to the airport and getting foggier as we neared Midway airport. I got out of the car to find that the temperature was beginning to drop. As we were sitting in the plane waiting to take off the rain turned from rain to sleet and as we left the runway and entered the air it turned to snow flakes.
Landing in SanAntonio the temperrature was a sunny 78, oh my gosh I was planning for the mid to high 60's. It was a pleasure to take a walk without my coat , gloves and hat. We decided to visit the much acclaimed river walk, Oh my gosh is it beautiful!! Wish the Chicago River walk looked this great. Spent dinnerr chatting with Karen Titus sitting outside enjoying the light breeze. After dinnerr we headed back to our hotel, passing by the Alamo. Here are a few pictures that I remembered to take of the Alamo. I will need to remember to get some of the riverwalk.
This is the front, lite up at night.
Looks just like in the movies!
This is the view to the left as you are looking straight on
to the main entrance. I was amazed at how large the compound actually is. Peeking into the different entrances you see beautiful plantings. I can't wait to visit during the day. I will definately take pictures!
This entrance is around the corner, to the right of the main entrance on the way back to our hotel. It's a little dark but amazing architecture for the time in which it it was built. It also amazes me on how San Antonio was built around this historic feature, yet it seems to fit right in!
That's the end of my first day. I always go a day early for all our training events to make sure I arrive on time in case there are any delays in my flights. Tomorrow is check in, make & takes and swapping!!
Til tomorrow ,
