My parents took us to San Marcos to see the Texas State University-San Marcos Aquarena Center. It used to be the Aquarena Springs Resort complete with underwater mermaid shows and Ralph the diving pig. After the demand for swimming swine dwindled TSU bought it and now use the land to educate the masses about the Edwards Aquifer. The aquifer is the source of the springs, and the springs, the source of the San Marcos River. They have glass-bottomed boats that you can ride on and see the fish, turtles and other animals as well as the water percolating up from the bottom.
We got there are 3:30. The last boat left at two pm. Dang! Don't worry though. We had fun. We walked on all the boardwalks and made a game of finding the turtles and fish hiding among the weeds.
My point in telling you this? Well, we were leaving (around 4:30) and realized we were very hungry. We asked Betty (my Sienna's nav-center) what was around and she let us know that Taco Cabana was nearby.
One fajita steak burrito for me and three cheese quesadilla meals with chips and queso for the kidlings. (What can I say? They like cheese.)
The end.
