Truman has been obsessed with the Alamo lately, so we decided to take a family trip to San Antonio. Who knew it would also be the hottest day of the year (so far) in Texas?! Still, we had a great time walking through the Mission and around the grounds.
Truman especially liked the various cannons. He was thrilled to notice that one even had a cannonball still in it!
Did you know that there are huge koi at the Alamo? The story we heard was that Davy Crockett had brought along a pet goldfish hidden under his coonskin cap....
We discovered this detailed miniature of the battle in the Visitors Center right across the street from the Alamo. Truman loved it, especially the cotton "smoke" coming out of the teeny tiny rifles.
We had lunch on the Riverwalk, then headed to the Tower of the Americas. We took the elevator to the top, 750 ft up! We had a great 360-degree view of the city.
Truman's takeaway from this historic trip? Remember the Alamo....gift shop! He's counting the days until he can go back to purchase cannons for his soldiers. (We'll see.)
