San Antonio

Last week we took the boys for a little family vacation to San Antonio. We had so much fun swimming, walking the Riverwalk, visiting the Alamo and playing for 2 days at Sea World.

Here are the pictures from the Alamo. What a surprise this was to us. We thought it was just the building that you see in the pictures and thought we would spend maybe a half hour there. Boy were we wrong! It is such a beautiful place! The grounds are breathtaking....and it's HUGE! There is the main building that you see in pictures all the time, and then there are several smaller buildings that are also part of it...all surrounding a beautiful courtyard. We spent 3 hours there!

Here are the boys outside the front of the Alamo



Here's a little friend we found on the cactus

This was a really pretty walkway leading up to the side entrance of the Alamo

Pretty grounds

The Texas rose!

This tree was HUGE!!!

I bet you are glad that you went. I remember you saying that you weren't going to go there! It looks so GREEN! All the pictures of the Alamo look like you are in the middle of the desert! Glad you had a good time. Come see us now! ;)
