Talk about bucket list for San Antonio natives and tourists! A few weeks ago, we took a ride on a canoe through Downtown, not like touristy downtown, but pretty close. We rented a canoe from Duck Feet, and went from the San Antonio River Authority on Guenther, right past Cesar Chavez Blvd and back.It was a sweet couple of hours. It was my first time on a canoe (ever!) and I was a little nervous, but it was very relaxing and I had some muscles doing most of the work for me. :)
After we walked over to Halcyon for a coffee and smoothie, but we also love the Frutería for a great brunch and fresh press juices.
The following week, my husband took the kids on their own canoe adventure on the Mission Reach by Espada Park. During their ride, the chilled under the bridge, snacked on some watermelon and they were good!
For us city kids, we got a taste of the outdoors just 10 minutes away from our home. Creating these summer memories didn't require a trip out of town, which is why I love this city so much.
I'm sure it won't be the last time for us. Rental prices were very reasonable and the weather can only get cooler from here, right?
I made a little video from my clips on our first ride. Enjoy!
