If you're going to go to San Antonio, you're going to remember the Alamo. We'd been before, but since we were right there anyway, we thought we'd better check it out again - and it's FREE, so you can't beat it. We also wanted to check out the Tower of the Americas, the second tallest observation tower in the United States (next to the Stratosphere in Las Vegas). At 750 feet tall, it's up there. The boys enjoyed a couple of 4-D movies and the waterfalls all around the park, and of course we took the elevator to the top to see... well, not much. The rain wouldn't quit and the cloud coverage was pretty heavy up there. It still was a cool view, but it would have been better on a better day.
The view from the top! Amazing!!
Somehow this giant grasshopper got all the way up here. Uh, if the grasshoppers are jumping this high in Texas, we may have a problem...
I paid a quarter and all I see are clouds!! This is going on Nolan's Yelp review...
Running in the rain!
There's the Alamo! When I saw they had a special exhibit on Jim Bowie, I thought we were going to get to listen to some classic glam-rock, Ziggy Stardust, Changes, or at least Space Oddity. Turns out all they had were really big knives. Oh well, still a nice exhibit.
