Hola from San Antonio

Hello everyone.  We finally arrived in San Antonio around 3pm today.  Wow!  We are soooo excited.  We can't wait till tomorrow so that we can really do something.  Let's see- we started off spending 50 bucks before we even drove a mile away from home.  (We thought about cutting our losses then but decided to truck on).  The kids and I spent the first 3 hours enjoying the back of our eyelids while poor G had to drive.  We stopped right after that to stretch our legs and get some drinks then we were back on the road.  We then arrived at Georgetown, Texas at around noon and we found a Golden Chick so we ate their for g-ma and g-pa (it was super-dee-duper!)  Then onward to Asstown- I mean Austin  to see the state capital.  Despite sucking in that awful air we pushed through it to get some great pics!

  

 After our  trip to the capital we headed for San Antonio where the air is a little bit cleaner (it's still in Texas).  We arrived around 3pm.  Geoff checked us in and we rested in the room for about 30 min.  But as our excitement level increased we could no longer contain ourselves and we had to go walking around.  We walked the riverwalk for a while, then we decided to take a boat tour.  After our tour we walked over to the Alamo from our hotel which all three of my children drew.  We then went back to the hotel and then back to the riverwalk to eat dinner out by the water.  It was a bunch of fun.  We have now retired to the room to regroup, get some sleep, and energize ourselves to go out and conquer Texas once again tomorrow.  Until then, enjoy these pics!!

    

p.s.--I guess it's true when they say that everything is bigger in Texas!
