HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
We wish you all a very happy 2012! We pretty much had the last minute idea of traveling to San Antonio Texas to bring in the new year, so around 2:00PM on the 31st, we got in the car, stopped for gas and a
Subway sandwich and drove south.
We read that morning about the celebration that would take place at Hemisfair Park and the Riverwalk, and the fact that it was a free event. What better than free!? We arrived at the hotel around 8:30 (I know, we made a few stops to pick up our much needed yellow underwear), checked in and walked down to the street. For starters, the weather was amazing! T-shirt, jeans and a pair of chucks.
We first stopped to get the mandatory picture of the Alamo. I'm pretty sure I have enough of those but it's close enough to the hotel not to have done it. Then we walked down to the Riverwalk which was packed but everybody seemed to be having a good time.
We made it over to Hemisfair Park and people were everywhere. The usual pushing through crowds holding your beer up in the air to avoid spilling it. I was impressed that I did not see a single fight break out as they usually do in drunken crowds. Everyone was having a good time, there were several stages with live music, and food vendors of all kinds.
We walked around and finally made it to the main stage for the countdown. It was the end of a good year and the beginning of what I hope is an even better one.

Thanksgiving Vacation
After several days of carefully planning our Thanksgiving vacation, we decided to make it a stay-cation. Although I've been unemployed for a few months now, Nati needed a much deserved break. So we did absolutely nothing for an entire week other than watch a parade in Fort Worth and three seasons of '24' on Netflix. I never saw the series when it actually aired, but I have reached the conclusion that all the problems on that show are caused by women. I declare shenanigans but now I have to watch the whole damn thing.
