Great American Road Trip - Day 8

I think San Antonio is a great city. It is fun to walk around the city along the river and their famous Riverwalk. First stop was the Alamo, of course. We tried to share an audio tour, but some of us were less interested than others. Little Man really couldn't stand still... he had ants in his pants the whole time. I am thinking that this is when his medicine (for his asthma) kicked in. He would. not. stop. climbing! The Alamo was very interesting, at least in the areas we were able to see and read/ hear about. It made me want to learn more... another day, perhaps. After that, we walked across the street and took a boat tour of the riverwalk and it was quite enjoyable. The weather was perfect all day, and after walking around the old streets and buildings, we stopped in at the oldest riverfront restaurant for lunch. Little Man entertained himself by making a superman cape and a "sun going down over the horizon" with his napkin.

Naptime brought us back to the hotel and what a naptime it was. These boys sure are sleep deprived! We woke them at 5:30 and headed back downtown to explore Hemisfair Park and Tower of the Americas. We walked back to the riverwalk for dinner. Squeaker crawled into his bed as soon as we walked in the door to the hotel and Little Man was not far behind. Rest up boys, because we have a lot of driving to do tomorrow. Not much to see west of here... until we get to our next stop, of course.
