Texas Travels - Day 2

This morning, Tate and I ate a good breakfast at our hotel and headed to the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum. It was so cool! We watched a 25 minute video inside the museum on how the Rangers were first established. I'm so glad we took time out of our day to go.

Ranger spurs..Different type of spurs for different level of ranks.

This is believed to be the Lone Ranger's real mask!




After leaving Waco, we headed south for San Antonio. Upon arriving at our hotel, we were welcomed with warm cookies. They were SO good!

We are staying right across the road from the San Antonio Police Department. I thought this was really cool when we first got here. I didn't realize they would be responding with their sirens on throughout the night. Oh well..

Later this afternoon, we took the City transport trolley to the River Walk. It was so pretty! It was very crowded, but I really enjoyed just walking around the river. We walked up to the mall, but didn't buy anything. The Christmas lights come on around the river at night, but we didn't feel like fighting the mob.

The cathedral, about 2 blocks away from the Alamo

The Alamo! We were not able to take pictures inside, but I was really glad we were able to go.

This is our hotel we are staying in tonight. We are on the 5th floor..I really don't like elevators!
Tomorrow, we head to Combes, Texas..where we will be staying for the next couple of months. We have about a 4 1/2 hour drive tomorrow, and we play tomorrow evening. Hopefully we can get a fairly early start tomorrow.
