Day 3

Here is the day 3 update, but on the morning of day 4. We spent the entire day in San Antonio and had a fantastic time. Spending more time there just made me love it that much more. We were tempted to spend another day, but decided it would be a wiser decision to get back on the road. So, we are now headed down I-10 toward El Paso. Hopefully, we will make it past El Paso to the border with New Mexico before dinner time. It has been recommended that we eat at the County Line.

Yesterday, we took our time getting up and out on the town. It was nice to semi sleep in for a change. Once we got up, we hit the River Center mall for breakfast and some shopping. The mall is awesome! Cory and I both bought new cowboy boots. We did a lot of walking around and just seeing the stops. The Alamo was only a couple of blocks away so we spent some time walking around there. It is almost overwhelming to stand in the middle of the Alamo and think of the sacrifices that were made there. I was surprised by how small it is, but very little of the original walls still stand. A huge portion of the original foundation is under buildings across the street. The gardens on the grounds of the Alamo are beautiful. They have a museum that has all kinds of treasures from people who were there, including a locket with a piece of David Crockett's hair which I found odd. The day ended with dinner at Fogo de Chao. YUMMO!

We are currently driving through the middle of Texas and I am amazed at what a beautiful state it is. We've seen so many different types of land in this state, from wetlands to beautiful prairies to the rolling, rocky hills of west Texas. It is so very different from Georgia. I can also tell you that the people of Texas love George Bush.

To our family and friends in Georgia, we hops y'all survived the winter storm. We love you guys and miss you.
