Alamo-ed

Can you believe that my wife, who grew up in San Antonio, and has spent all but 3 years of her life living here has never been inside the Alamo?

That's like living in Chicago and never going to the Sears Tower.

Yeah, sure, we've been to the Alamo, but the one time we went, it was late on a Sunday afternoon and we couldn't go inside.

People come from all over the world to see the Alamo. It's the #1 tourist spot in the state of Texas. And yet, my wife, who grew up a mere 10 minute drive from it, had never been.

Until today.



We decided since we didn't have anything to do, we'd go check it out. I've been a bunch of times, but it had been about 5 or 6 years since the last time I went, and they've changed a couple of things--opened up a couple of the rooms on the side so you can walk through them, and moved some exhibits around.

It was nice and cool inside, which is a good thing since we topped 90 today. We spend about 45 minutes walking around the grounds, through the gift shop and into the long barracks (also air conditioned). Afterward, Monica got a raspa--that's a snow cone for all of you northerners--and headed home.
