👋 Nicole here, wowed by San Antonio's River Walk. What's happening: I spent a lot of time in San Antonio while growing up in Victoria, but I haven't been back since high school for much more than quick trips. My dad was set to receive an award at the Texas Managing Editors conference on Saturday, so I decided to make a long weekend out of it. Zoom in: We stayed three nights at a hotel on the River Walk, and I had so much fun running along the water each morning.
