San Antonio holds many fond memories for me. Growing up only four hours from the city, I remember it in waves of nostalgic flashbacks from high school.
In one picture, there I am in a four-day basketball tournament visiting The Alamo in between games and walking the streets with teammates. Somehow I was talked into dining at Dick’s Last Resort, where the server’s job is to insult you during your dinner. Nonetheless, it made for quite some laughs, so it was a fond memory.
In another flash, I see myself at Fiesta Texas riding rollercoasters in the summer heat on a senior field trip. During that trip, I was talked into some very shady rollercoasters (looking at you, Iron Rattler) as we flipped upside down, flew high in the sky, and generally had a blast.
In the next memory, I’m on a first date, all legs, limbs, and bad fashion, shaking with nerves. Strolling the riverwalk, stopping at attractions, and eating at the Hard Rock Cafe made for a perfect first getaway trip in a new relationship.
Once, I had to spend all day helping my sister move furniture up four flights of stairs – just to add a less fun memory to the collection.
So, as you can see, I have discovered many nooks and crannies in San Antonio and walked the riverwalk with friends, teammates, family, and my spouse. I can say with certainty that this is one of the best places to visit in Texas, and any adventure you have here will leave you with many great memories for years to come.
