A Trip to San Antonio, TX with the Grandparents.

During Grandmoi and Pappa Wally's visit to Houston we took a two day trip to San Antonio, TX. It was drizzly the entire time but we made the best of it and had a blast. For our first excursion into town we visited the Alamo and wandered about doing a little site seeing and shopping. After a trip back to the hotel and a dry out, we headed back into town and walked the 'River Walk'.

The River walk is a below street level viaduct system made in the early 1900's to divert the San Antonio river and prevent flooding. It has been embraced by business and civic affairs and there are hundreds of restaurants, bars, and other establishments. Live music, thousands of Christmas lights, and other sites to see. The next morning we headed to the San Antonio Zoo. The kids loved the sights and sounds and had a blast. One of the highlights, as you can see, was an area where you could feed live birds. They swarmed you if they saw that you had 'nectar' in a little cup (sold at the entrance to the bird area). It was awesome to feed the birds and put almost a 1/2 dozen of them on each kid.

Over all we had a blast, great accommodations, and a safe trip. Thanks Grandmoi and Pappa Wally for a great trip.
