MaKieley has been asking for a while to go and see the Alamo. We decided that on our trip this summer we were going to go and do just that.
We started off at this cannon. It reads In Loving Memory of Warren Eugeen Boynton. Sergeant U.S. Army World War II
This was an area where periodically a historian would come out and retell the events that lead up to the fall of the Alamo. MaKieley was a little bored by this so I took her picture to get her mind off of it. She just wanted to go and look at everything. She is more of a hands on learner than a listening learner.
This was a carved stone statue from Mission San Antonio de Valero (later known as the Alamo). MaKieley wanted to know where it's head was.
This was a acequia or irrigation ditch, part of the original acequia built to supply farms and the Mission San Antonio del Valero.
We also made a stop in the gift shop and MaKieley wanted to pick out a coffee cup for Dangran. There were so many choices we wanted to be able to show him how hard the decision was for her. WELL apparently the gift shop is a no picture are too. I got in trouble for taking her picture!
Marley had had about enough! She fell asleep just like this! I thought it would make a great picture for an ad campaign for Ozarka!
Before we left my dad showed MaKieley a picture of me and my brother standing in front of the Alamo (in almost this exact place) so MaKieley was insistent that we do the same of her and Marley so she could show Dangran.
After walking around the Alamo for a while we decided to make our way across the street to the Riverwalk and find some lunch. We ended up eating at The County Line (John's choice and his favorite). It was very good! What a fun day we had at the Alamo and the Riverwalk in San Antonio!
