San Antonio here we come!!

Last Friday, Joe and I drove down to Austin, switched from our non-AC car into Sai's AC car, and then drove down to San Antonio, where Jen and Susan were attending a biomaterials conference. Jen and Susan snagged me a ticket to the conference dinner Friday night at the Texas Cultural Institute, ripe with cowboys and sheriffs.

-we each danced with the sheriff...notice how excited the profs look at the table on the right....silly scientists

We then found the boys along the river walk, talking science even after 2 pitchers of margaritas, and hung out along the river walk. Saturday morning, the girls were in and out of the hotel room (we crashed in their room for the weekend...thanks ladies!) and then we all went to lunch along the river walk.

I then dragged Joe over to the Alamo again so that I could get a picture out front with a blue sky since it was raining the first time we were there.


Saturday night, Joe and I had dinner with all of the Texas Bendles. It was great seeing everybody again. Joe and I visited in the fall of 2003, and since then, there are 2 new children and the little ones from 2003 are already 7 and 10!
