The Alamo

Remember The Alamo!

We stayed in San Antonio for a few days on our way through Texas, and on Sunday after church we made it in to see the Alamo. It seemed a little strange to head downtown amidst all the high-rises and hotels and see the little old Alamo sitting there.

You really felt like you were walking through a piece of history. In the main building they had a sign asking you to please talk quietly and turn your cell phones off so when you are in there you can feel it is a special place.




This Live Oak and several others on the property were so cool. Any kid would love to have one of these in their backyard.


Even the walls surrounding the compound looked to be full of history.


As a side note: Our Ellie finally learned to sit up!

Live Oak trees are amazing! They were all around where we lived in California.

Again thank you for sharing pictures of your adventures of places we probably will never get to see. Brought tears to this Grandma's eyes to see our adorable little Ellie girl. We would love to see a picture of her and Darcy together because we do not have one of them on our family wall that Aunt Viv so kindly did for us before we arrived in Nauvoo.

The Alamo really is a cool place! We saw it years ago and your pictures remind me of the peaceful feeling I had while there. Thanks for the fun post. Miss you!
