We arrived in San Antonio Friday - timing it right as we arrived at Ashley's house just as she was getting home from work. We didn't try to push the drive, stopping just south of Montgomery Wednesday after about 8 hours driving. Thursday we drove to Coushatta Casino (about an hour or less from the Texas state line but in Louisiana). We tried our hand at a couple of Blackjack table without much luck. But the hotel was very nice and very inexpensive to my surprise. We paid $69 (no tax since it is an Indian reservation) for a really nice big room and that also included $20 for breakfast the next morning.
We have been on the go since we got here as usual. Friday night we headed straight to a Mexican restaurant for much missed Tex Mex, our favorite. Saturday Ashley and I headed out to do a little shopping and Sonny went on his own to pick up some things to do a few handy man chores around Ashley's house. Saturday night Ashley's friends, Lisa and Danny, had us over for dinner. They have a 7 yr. old and 2 year old twins so it was a fun evening. Plus Danny had been smoking a brisket since 8 a.m. and it was delicious! On Sunday, after church, my nephew, his wife and little boy came over for lunch and we watched the Cowboys together. As soon as the game was over and they left, we headed to a bar to watch our Steelers pull off another nail biter of a game against Green Bay. From there, we met Ashley's friend Courtney and her parents for a birthday dinner since today was Ashley's birthday. Courtney and her mom will be going on the New Zealand trip with us so it was nice to meet her mom in advance.
I have a few more goodies to share from Stamp Club.
