Tower of the Americas

Ever since we moved to San Antonio I've been intrigued by a Tall, Tall building that looks like a sphere
 

 
 
 


Discovered it's called Tower of the Americas which was built in the 60's for a world fair.
Some friends told us that this tower had a restaurant so I've been dreaming of eating in this fancy restaurant that rotates for views of the city.
 



Dinner by candlelight

About a month ago Al made reservations so my small dream could come true.
It's not very often we get dressed up and splurge on a meal.
We enjoy married life of relaxing in pajames and watching movies.
 
 

This is actually our second restaurant that we've been in that rotates around a city.
 
 

In Hawaii Al took me to a similiar restaurant except we showed up in a sundress, shorts, and sandals.

Tower of Americas is actually the building they lit the New Year fireworks that we watched from a parking lot. So some of these pictures might be familiar.

While enjoying our meal two marriage proposals took place. So exciting to see women crying, men smiling and lots of kisses.
 
My drink enjoying the view...
 
 
It felt a bit magical so I can only imagine why people
get engaged on a night like this one...
 

We decided to get some exercise after dinner so we walked around Hemisfair Park and the riverwalk. I don't recommend walking a couple of miles in high heels. Al was so sweet he offered to trade shoes!



 
 
In the background is a waterfront that looks
like Niagara Falls even though I've never been...
 
Hoping Everyone Had a Special
Day full of love and laughter.
