We didn't know prior to Christmas that Eric's brother Dan, his wife Stephanie, and several friends had planned to meet in San Antonio, Texas for New Year's. We had already planned to drive to Austin, so it only made sense to meet up with them as well, since San Antonio is only about an hour from Austin. We all made it to San Antonio the day before New Year's Eve, and we stayed for three nights. We enjoyed lots of eating, drinking, walking on the Riverwalk, the free street party at Hemisfair park, and the Alamo.

| The free festivities at Hemisfair Park. It was crazy crowded, with probably more than 200,000 people! |
