San Antonio, Texas. Home of the Alamo and River Walk. That is also where my aunt, uncle and cousin live. During spring break a couple weeks ago, we drove down there to Texas. 16 hours in the car on the drive down. After school that Friday we drove 5 hours on the way to Olathe Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City. The hotel was great down there. The next day, Isaac was vomiting in the morning. So, me, Henry, and Dad went over to a Target and got a puke bowl for Isaac. It had a ninja saying HI YA on it. After the sickness, we drove down 8 hours to Fort Worth Texas. On the way down, we stopped at a gas station that had a pay-phone and a Weird Al album from the 1980s. When we got to the Welcome to Texas station we saw some people that were from Ottumwa Iowa. They were visiting San Antonio and then heading out to El Paso to see their son before he was deported to Afghanistan. The next day, we drove another 5 hours to San Antonio. Some of the cities we went through were Fort Worth, Waco, Austin and finally San Antonio. On Monday all 5 of us, Chad, Amy, and Daisy went downtown. We saw the Alamo. It is much bigger than it looks. We saw the River Walk, a hospital with a bar in the basement, and a Ripley's Believe it or Not Odditorium across the street from the Alamo. The temperature was in the 90s so it was above normal temps down there believe it or not. At home we trapped and killed a scorpion with a shoe, had fun with Daisy, and got to go on a nice evening walk. We also saw a cactus. On Tuesday we went to the Witte Museum that was on the Museum Pass we have. There we saw a mummy. There was a exhibit that had life size dinosaurs that could move. There was a couple of things when you look in a iPad camera and saw the 3D dinosaur itself while pointing the camera at a certain object. I believe that is called Augmented Reality or AR. On Wednesday we drove to Oklahoma City. When we left the hotel we forgot one of Isaac's Nerf Hoops there. On Friday we drove 9 and a half hours back home to cold Cedar Falls. There are some pictures of our trip down below.
