We had a great time at the San Antonio Spurs game on Wednesday. Final score: San Antonio Spurs 128, Orlando Magic 110 - GO SPURS. The drive from Austin to the AT&T Center (Home of the Spurs) is only about 1.5 hours.
Here is a YouTube of this gal that performed in the half-time show. Her name is Krystal Liu, of the Red Panda Acrobats on Unicycle. She is AWESOME - quite amazing. This video clip from YouTube is from a different day but it is the exact same show that we saw her do at the Spurs game in San Antonio. Love the music too!
We make a 2 day trip of it and spend a couple nights on the Riverwalk. If you like to shop, stay at the Marriott Rivercenter which is attached to the Rivercenter Mall. This hotel was closed for renovations this year so we stayed just across the street at the Marriott Riverwalk, not nearly as glamorous as the Marriott Rivercenter - but still nice. We enjoyed our holiday feast at the Hyatt, also right on the Riverwalk. Many of the hotels put out a GREAT buffet for Thanksgiving, go with a huge appetite. The Rivercenter mall was closed on Thursday but lots of people were out walking about and the movie theatre in the mall is open all day and night.
If you stay through Friday you can see the holiday lighting ceremony on the Riverwalk. The town completely fills up by Friday so plan well ahead if you expect to find a hotel on the Riverwalk. Any day would be a great day to experience the San Antonio Riverwalk - but Thanksgiving weekend is extra special!
