Spring Break Day 3

Our first full day of exploring in San Antonio. First stop was The Alamo. We opted not to do the tour, so we perused the grounds on our own. It's amazing that so much history sits right there in the middle of the city area. The Alamo is a popular destination for tourists and got busier than longer we were there. After touring The Alamo, we boarded The Riverboat rides. There was a couple in line in front of us who had twin boys. As the dad was trying to load the stroller on the boat, he needed someone to hold one of the boys, because the mom was holding the other one. So wouldn't you know it, he asked me to hold the little boy. The girls thought that was so funny. He was asleep and cute. It was a nice thing to do. We cruised all around the city center. The tour guide told the history of the place, the buildings, the greenery, the food, the people, etc. It was a beautiful warm sunny day. Such a fun city to be in. When the boat ride was finished, we took off on foot around the city to see more sights. There was a beautiful church in the middle of the city. We made it to an indoor Flea Market area. Cute little stands and shops around selling all kinds of things. When we ventured back to the hotel, we decided we would do a horse drawn carriage ride. Afterwards, we walked around inside the mall, where we found a movie theater. We decided to see the Lego Movie. This theater was so cool, because it had reserved seats that were recliners. It was quite a treat.
