Holiday River Parade & Lighting

Today Carlos took us to the Holiday River Parade and Lighting. We had a buffet dinner at La Mansion Del Rio... which means, Mansion On The River. The dinner was delicious. We were seated out in the pool area... they had tables set all around the pool area and it was very nice.











After dinner we headed down to the river and sat literally 6 inches from the edge of the river... great seats! The weather was great... it was a little chilly but not freezing. Unfortunately, the timing of the River Parade was way off... we would see 3 floats and then have to wait a good while to see the next. I am not sure what was happening and this made the parade boring. Last year's parade was awesome... so I know it could have been alot better. Nicholas ended up falling asleep waiting for the float with Santa. Anyway, we made the best of it and had a good time. The three of us got yo spend quality time with eachother.
















After the parade we walked over to the Alamo where they light the huge Christmas Tree... there was a crowd but we were able t take pictures...














All in all we had a great time.
