Day 2

Today was a day filled mostly with driving. We all slept late this morning, or later than lately which meant 7 am. I slept great last night for the first time in probably a week so it was awesome. We hit the road around 8:30 and stopped for breakfast about an hour later. Other than a quick stop for gas and to fix sandwiches it was driving the rest of the time. The kids have done really great with all the riding. I have been pleasantly surprised. Collis has his moments, but has been good for the most part. Lila hasn't complained a second about all the riding and has been documenting all the states we are going through in her journal. She is excited about traveling to so many new places. We finally got to San Antonio about 4 pm and after some minor issues with construction we got checked into our hotel which is right on the Riverwalk.

For the record, I LOVE San Antonio. Immediately upon getting here, I fell completely in love. The atmosphere and history here is just amazing. I think it will definitely make it on my short list of retirement possibilities. We spent some time this afternoon walking on the Riverwalk and had an awesome dinner at this Mexican restaurant. It was amazing! Now we are settled into our hotel room, the kids are bathed and I am considering a cup of coffee on the balcony(without the kids). Tomorrow our plans include a trip to the Alamo, more exploring on the Riverwalk and maybe a stop at some of the missions. I am sure my camera will be working overtime.
