"You all may go to hell and I am going to Texas."

We spent the last two days in the land of Davey Crockett - and that quote is plastered all around San Antonio. It was Althea's first long road trip and she did really well - only one screaming, crying fit during the whole ride, not bad. AND Chris now has a new talent of changing diapers on her lap in the backseat of a car - never know when that'll come in handy.

We stayed at the Drury Hotel on the Riverwalk - I only mention this because the building is so... cool. It was the Alamo National Bank in its other life, a gorgeous art deco style skyscraper complete with WPA-like-wood-cut-like murals on each side of the front door. We were able to walk out of the hotel and right onto the Riverwalk - of course we forgot to take pictures of the Riverwalk which sits below street level, with building rising up along it's banks.




Another museum visit for Althea Rose...


"Excuse me, can you show me where the basement is?"
"What?"
"The basement of the Alamo."
"Honey, there's no basement at the Alamo."

Yup. That is a giant cartoon-like mechanical Davey Crockett - this was right next to the Guinness World Record Museum which was next to the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum - Althea and her parents did not visit any of these "museums".
