After climbing Enchanted Rock and hanging out for a bit, we made our way back to the car, passing an emergency squad of firefighters headed for a rescue. We drove through the Hill Country of Texas for a couple of hours as we took the scenic route into San Antonio.
One of the motivations for this trip was that our three oldest studied Texas state history last year and we wanted them to see some of the events they learned about before we left. Naturally the Alamo was at the top of their list. Frankly, the site was a bit disappointing for me, but that may be related to my lack of knowledge of history and not the crowds, the small size, and the lack of much to do. From the Alamo, there is easy access to the Riverwalk and we had time to cover the entire loop.
The Alamo sits in the middle of downtown San Antonio.
