My sister's family was coming down for spring break and going to spend the first part in San Antonio, so I thought I would meet them there and spend more time with them. They were getting in on Sunday so Jeff and I decided to make our own weekend of it and do some fun sight seeing in San Antonio. We went to San Marcos (just north of San Antonio) and hit the outlet malls and then headed down to San Antonio for the touristy stuff. We started at the River Walk. It was a lot of fun and the sights were great! We saw some ducks...
and the architecture was amazing. I don't think we get a lot of this kind of stuff in the US and it is nice to see some so close to home. The landscape was great too.
How amazing is all this? I can see why it is the #1 tourist attraction in the state of TX.
I didn't get any good pictures of the buildings up close but the river goes right through all these amazing buildings and it is pretty stunning when you are right there next to it all.
Standing next to one of those amazing walk over bridges. We didn't cross very many with the stroller but they are pretty neat.
A nice little water fall. It didn't look so good trying to take our family picture...
so we each took turns with Harrison.
Then we arrived a the Alamo. Another great stop with some amazing landscape. Love the red bud trees.
Harrison got to get out and play around finally and run off a little bit of energy. Soon after he fell in the mud and was put back in his stroller.
Some more amazing trees.
I think this is the back of the Alamo church. These sagging trees were so interesting. The branches just grow down and they put cables up in a lot of places to keep them in place.
The front of the Alamo.
We didn't really know too much about the Alamo before the trip but really learned a lot and I am interested in learning more. We now "Remember the Alamo".

San Antonio is one of our favorite vacation spots. If you are looking for an incredible weekend get-a-way stay the the Hill Country Hyatt, just down the road from Sea World. Great pictures!
Seeing your pictures brings back so many memories of when we lived in Texas. So fun!
