Texas Trip: Day 4

Tuesday was also a great day. Lots of dog play. Boomer kept those kids entertained for hours on end all week long. Travis and boys hit the arrowhead mound again. And they all found more heads to add to our ever growing collection.
Bella was pretty exhuasted from the previous day and so by ten she was ready for a nap. Kody also stayed at the house with me since he still hadn't woken up from the previous day. He had fallen asleep at eight the night before as we left the river. And slept clean till eleven the next morning. At around ten I started getting nervous and antsy and would sneak my head in his room to check on him and peek in. He was still breathing the heavy breath of a toddler with his almost snoring sounds. I just let him sleep it off.

We took huge naps to prepare for the Alamo and its rich cultural history and to walk the famous San Antonio Riverwalk. Bella having napped waited for the boys to go to bed and then Nana, Travis's mom, took her to get some more groceries and shopping for some new clothes. Bella got in touch with her girly side and just lived it up. On the way home they shared a chocolate milk and Bella thought she was in heaven.

The Alamo rocks. We got there and did an abbreviated tour and they really start kicking people out by five thirty. Just a note for future travelers. We headed over to the riverwalk. Our family went to Rocky's work, building a new hotel on the riverwalk, and Travis got an inside tour. The rest of us headed down to buy tickets to take the boat/barge rides tour of the riverwalk and to learn the history. Coolest fact, they love to save the historic buildings and so they floated a three story hotel totally intact from one spot down six blocks in six days on air filled tires. It made a world record being the first entire building to be floated down a river and repositioned. After that we came home late and had cereal for dinner at almost nine ice cream for dessert and headed off to bed.
