Day 3- Exploring San Antonio


Tuesday, we spent the afternoon exploring Downtown San Antonio. ; We met a couple in our hotel that went to the Riverwalk and strongly recommended taking a Scenic Riverboat Tour. It was pretty interesting. San Antonio definitely has lots of history!!









When we finished out tour, it was around lunch time, so we picked a little place off the river that served.... Corn Dogs and Brocolli!!! I will give you one guess who wanted it for lunch:) We knew we had to drive to Houston in a few hours, but Mark wanted a margarita, so we decided to split one. Our margarita was.... Thirty Bucks!! I have never paid so much for 1 margarita before!! They were really proud of it!! We did get to keep the margarita glass as a souvenier:)
Next, we walked over to the Alamo! You hear about it in history and make this image in your mind of it being so bigger than it was! In reality, it was very small compared to what I would have thought and right smack dab in the middle of the city. All these huge buildings and then... the Alamo! Camden LOVED it!! He loved hearing about the history and seeing all the old guns, knives, bullets, cannons, etc... He even got to make a wish from the old wishing well! He took the wish very seriously and didn't tell anyone and took his sweet time while a line was forming behind us!! That is so my son:)



After the Alamo, we headed in the car for the drive to Houston! Our trip has just begun. We still have the space center and the beach!! The three hour drive was really short in comparison to the drive on Sunday! We decided to hit the hotel pool again upon our arrival. This hotel is absolutely beautiful!! It has only been open for a few months and it is amazing!!!! It is almost to nice.. I hope we don't get kicked out for having loud kids... Just kidding!!!

I'm so glad Camden likes history. He takes after his Grandpa Jim. The River Walk was one of our favorite places also.
