Sightseeing in Texas (part of a series.....)

We honestly didn't do a whole lot of sight seeing while in San Antonio. San Antonio has always been way up there on my places to go list.... and basically, it still is. Steve just wasn't in mindset to go wandering all around the city looking at stuff. And we wanted to do what Steven wanted to do. We sat in the hotel a lot so he could get on the computer and put on comfortable clothes. We went out to eat some. But we did do a little sight seeing. So here are a few pics: Yes, we went to the Alamo. That is it. Yes, we were very aware BEFORE we went that 1, it was small and 2, it was in the middle of the city. (this is what everyone wanted to tell us before we went. this and oh! are you going to see the Alamo??) So yes, we went to see the Alamo. NO, we did not go in. Do you see all those people to the right of my miserably hot little kids? that's just part of the line. So yeah, we didn't go in. But we have a picture. That counts, right??
And we did go through a courtyard at the Alamo. This is some well there. Everyone else was taking pictures at the thing, so we did. I'm sure it holds some sort of significance.... wish i could tell you what it was!!!! :) I do know that that is one old A tree..... And it was moved there. We like, read a board about it. Hey come on... this is site seeing with 5 kids. Give me a break. We did walk about 30 yards down the Riverwalk to our restaurant. We saw some baby ducks. Couple of things about the Riverwalk: doesn't work real well with wheelchair. people on it love to talk to airmen. i would have liked to have seen a LOT more of it. there are a LOT of people on it. it's not good for people like me that are ADD and like to look at everything and there's stuff everywhere and you have a 5 year old who is close to water and you're paying attention to everything else. There are no rails. I would like to go with no children because they have great drink specials. Ok.

The mall at the end of the Riverwalk. Very impressive. Not fun though. Why, you might ask?? Well, I was there with men and children. And it was crowded. And we were broke. That makes for not a fun time at the mall. Dang it. But it was pretty.
View of Riverwalk from our restaurant. The restaurant was good. Steven bought our lunch. Awww. He wanted a steak and he got one.... it looked good. I can't even remember what I ate. Steve said he had a hard time even enjoying it in some ways though because he was scared of dripping something and because he is so used to gobbling his food down so fast!!!! ha!!!
Ok, so that's all the sightseeing pics. Let's see..... I think I'll do one on the hotel next.
