...San Antonio Day 2...

...since Our Airman is in tech school...we were able to spend a lot more time with him than when we came down for Basic graduation...we could pick him up right after classes ended for the day about 4:30ish...this is his classroom building...
...we did not do a lot of on base sight-seeing like we did the last time...but we had missed this retired Air Force One plane when we were here before...so that was pretty neat...
...Our Airman suggested that we check out the Menger Hotel...we had seen it in the distance when we were here before...it's where the horses hang out trying to stay in the shade...
...inside there is a shop that sells intricate little figurines...or toy soldiers...they have an amazing diorama of the Alamo...
...and this one of King Arthur's court...so funny to see it because we watched Monty Python's Holy Grail while we were here...
...inside the hotel was so posh...
...and pretty...
...I loved the stained glass ceiling...it reminded me of Le Printemps in Paris...on a much smaller scale...of course...
...but mostly Our Airman just wanted to spend time with The Airman's Wife...so we headed back to the AirBnB for the evening...it was closer to base than the last time...and we really enjoyed it...
...a big comfy living area for lounging around...
...and a nice sized dining area...
...because Our Airman is apparently getting a little bit bored with the Dfac...and had some special requests for dinners while we were in town...first request was for some 'twice-baked' potatoes...this is the Daiya shreds...
...and I made some croutons for a nice big salad...
...and baked some tofu...of course...
...and we had a nice sit down home cooked dinner with Our Airman...
...and for dessert...I'd gotten one of those sweet Texas melons...we had one the last time we were here and it was the best one I've ever had...this one was good too...

~Have a lovely day!

  1. It must be difficult for both of them being apart while the Airman's Wife is pregnant.

    1. Hi Maureen,
      ...it's amazing to watch how effortlessly they seem to manage it...she says everything will be perfect once she can join him...so sweet...
