San Antonio weekend starring Demi Lovato...and Sara & Shelbi :)

My daughter, Sara & her BFF, Shelbi had tickets to Demi Lovato's first World Tour at the AT&T Center in San Antonio this past Friday, Sept. 19. This marks Sara's third Demi show (her wonderful grandmother taking her to her first Demi show, not to mention that was also her very first concert ever to attend) & second Demi show for both Sara & Shelbi to attend together.  These girls are such good friends, it makes my heart happy to see them together.
We decided to stay in Boerne that weekend which is abt 40min from SA. Boerne has a cute little downtown area, with shops, cafes and a small nature corner. Unfortunately, we didn't get to spend any of our weekend in downtown Boerne but do plan on going back.

 Heading down Main St. Boerne, TX 

Entrance to Nature Store 

Lovely locals 

 Cool tree at the Nature Store

Another shop on Main St. Boerne, TX

This is definitely not a majority of downtown Boerne. We were heading home on Sunday & I just needed some pics of downtown. I promise, we'll go back again to specifically stay in Boerne & I'll have an assemblage of pics to post!

Back to our San Antonio trip.....girls had a fabulous time at Demi's show.  However, they didn't lose their voices as they anticipated they would but, came close. I found my way down to the Riverwalk after dropping off the girls. 


Found a great place to sip on a glass of vino called Market on Houston. 

My view 
(Please excuse, didn't have camera only iPhone)

Across the street, the Majestic Theater

I had a bit of time to blow since the show began at 7 and wasn't expected to end until 11! No worries, I only had the one glass of vino. Just a lot of walking around town, taking it all in. 

With the advice of my husband, we decided to head to the Market Square/Mi Tierra on Saturday. 


 There was a celebration going on in one of the buildings. 
Something of a talent show with different groups/individuals performing their dance. 
This one's adorable :)

Posing with a version of "La Catrina", I believe. 
 
This cathedral, in its beauty the way you see it here, has been illuminated in a dazzling light show by French artist, Xavier de Richemont called "San Antonio|The Saga"
Here is a glimpse...



This show is completely mesmerizing, lasting 24 minutes. You'll walk away with a deeper feeling in your heart. Absolutely stunning.


 Interesting statement, or quote maybe?



We finally find a spot to enjoy our much needed greens, got to have something on the lighter side in order to fully enjoy the Tex-Mex we were planning for the evening :)

Must do as the good doctor says.....


 Back at Market, we ran into these guys....


 Spot on!

A fun & festive spot for some Tex-Mex, thanks Dustin!

What's this? A working payphone! 
The girls have never seen one before, haha!



Shopping at Main Plaza

"Bye San Antonio! See you again soon :)"
