JOHN - My friend, Sara, and Jayma's friend, Leann, decided to come spend a weekend with us in October. We were really excited to have the girls here because it was a new visitor for us and we haven't seen them in awhile. So, we decided to show the girls all around San Antonio and Austin. Leann flew in Thursday night and we took her to dinner over at Mamacita's. Sara flew in on Friday.
I decided to take the girls downtown and show them the Riverwalk, do a boat tour, visit the Alamo and go up the Tower of Americas. We hit all of the touristy places and spent a few hours just walking around downtown. The girls seemed to enjoy the area and I was glad to finally get to see the Riverwalk and Tower.
Later that night, Sara was wanting to go to Cowboys, which is a huge dance club. HUGE!!! And it's named fit right in. The minute we walked in, we were taken aback by how much area this building took. The dance floor is huge. There was a live, country band playing but in between sets, the DJ would rock the crowd with some hip hop beats. It was a great mix of country and pop and the crowd was just as diverse as the music. There were a lot of authentic country boys and girls there, all decked out in their country regalia. We are talking creased jeans, cowboy hats, big belt buckles, long skirts, and boots. It's like Sara died and went to heaven.
The girls had a blast at Cowboys. They ended up meeting some guys who were in the military so they had built-in dance partners for the rest of the night. I was on purse/drink watch the entire evening so I didn't get to partake in all the dancing that I would've liked. Regardless, the girls had a blast and Leann even got to ride the electric bull!!
The next day, once we finally got up and moving, we took the girls to Gruene where they got to see some of the little German shoppes. Leann's family has a strong German background so we thought she'd be interested in that. After stopping there for a bit, we proceeded to Austin where we had dinner and another night out on the town. The girls left early the next morning and I think they seemed to enjoy their weekend.
