The Alamo

Our last day in San Antonio we decided to go to the Alamo. Lucky for us we got to DRIVE to a parking spot a minute away from the Alamo! It was a good day to go to because they were doing a re-enactment of what happened. Sadly, they didn't do any shooting :( , but it was still fun. After the Alamo we started on the long drive home.

This trip was lots of fun! Even though we had to WALK a lot, it was still fun, and the best part is that I got to spend it with my family! (well all of them but Tiffani)

Tower of the Americas

After Ashley finished her choir concert it was about 2. We were all exhausted and decided to go to the hotel and sleep! After a good nap we got ready to go do something fun. If you have ever been to San Antonio then you know that you have to pay for most of the parking , so we had to walk EVERYWHERE we went. 1st stop: Tower of the Americas!

On our way we say this face statue and couldn't help but stop to take a picture with it.



After a 30 minute walk we finally reached the Tower of the Americas

This is a picture of us looking out the window at the very top

When we finished with the views we met up with some friends to eat dinner. We WALKED to a Mexican restaurant and waited an hour to get to our table, during the wait we had already decided what we wanted to have. So after 10-15 minutes of sitting at our table we had our food! It was really good Mexican food!

After dinner we WALKED along the river walk and it was really pretty. Then went back to the tower of the Americas to watch a 4-D movie and see San Antonio at night. Then WALKED back to our hotel and crashed at about 12. Out feet were killing us!

San Antonio

On Friday 13, 2009 Ashley's choir got to go to San Antonio to sing. We had to wake up at 2:20 a.m. to be able to be on the road by 3:30 am. I slept in the car till 7:30, then we arrived at the convention center around 8:25, so we got to walk around while we waited.

This is us waiting for the rest of Ashley's choir to get there
