June 20th – Left today for New Braunfels, TX to drop off the trailer at Camping World. I am hoping the fridge will have a quick fix that I am unaware of. We decided to splurge for two nights to stay at the Hyatt Regency Riverwalk. Pat decided that instead of an interior room, we should splurge for one with a view of the Alamo.
I have to say the view at night made the extra money worth spending. I can’t say anything bad about this hotel. It was stellar in many ways. Bed were extremely comfortable (coming from someone who has a hard time sleeping somewhere other than her own bed). Shower were fantastic with plenty of counter space to spread out and get ready in the morning. Sean gives the shower two thumbs up for being relaxing. Part of the river has been diverted into the lower level and you can sit in the lobby and listen to the water. The kids loved getting ice cream from a store on the river level. Of course they served Blue Bell ice cream which both boys devoured.
Since we were tired from the drive, we decided to just eat at the Hard Rock Cafe. Any time you want to eat on the Riverwalk, expect a long wait throughout the day and even more of a wait on Friday and Saturday night. But wait, it’s Thursday night you say? Well on a Thursday night when the Spurs are playing means the restaurants are even more crowded than usual.
The hotel was also a bit noisy due to the open air atrium and the Spurs playing the final game. I think the noise was pretty acceptable, but then again, the Spurs lost. I would hate to think of all the noise from the partying that would probably happen if they had won.
Tomorrow we head to Schlitterbahn!
