San Antonio Report: Part 1

I'm gonna get the first post in here post-trip. We had a very great trip. We got to San Antonio right as planned without delay and got to check into our hotel early. After checking in and changing we headed off to Six Flags. Due to all of the rain, the water park portion of Six Flags was closed, so we rode a number of the roller coasters. I actually rode two or three coasters, Kathy rode a few more (I tend to get motion sickness / headaches...). The greatest thing was that we only had to wait in one line (and that was b/c they had to clean the ride after someone threw up...and yes, somehow I still rode that one...). We had ridden all of the rides we wanted to ride in 2-3 hours, so we went to see Harry Potter in IMAX 3D. They gave us these silly glasses that we thought were fairly useless, that is until the final showdown. Kathy kept leaning over to me asking if "he was right in front of me..." or something similar, it was awesome. We then tried to find a restaurant that we had driven by called Salt-Wheat Steakhaus (at least I enjoyed making up lots of different names for the restaurant...). Our GPS took us to a different one, about 10 minutes away from our hotel, that was surprisingly hard to get to from the interstate. In the course of trying to get into the parking we took a small detour (which drove Kathy nuts...I can understand why...I mean...we had our GPS...). Well, during our detour we saw almost 20 deer, about half of those looked like babies. It was quite strange to look to one side and see more, all less than 5 minutes from the interstate. It must be fun to live in that little neighborhood. We finally found the restaurant near our hotel and after some bad service that took forever (they lost our order and undercooked our food) we finally called it a night.
