A day in old town San Antonio...

After sleeping in at the hotel, we made our way to the Riverwalk area in San Antonio where we visited the “Battle of the Alamo” Exhibit and learned a bit of history.  After the museum, we ate lunch on the Riverwalk before heading to the actual Alamo.  It was so interesting to know the history behind the walls and what took place in TX territory during that time period.  The kids seem fascinated by it all, which made us proud.  After the Alamo, we walked across the street to “Guinness Book of World’s Record” where we had fun laughing at some of the funny records that were broke.  Cade was in heaven laughing and reading everything.  Caelin enjoyed the challenges and trying to break records of her own.  When we left, we headed to a chocolate store named Chocollazo.  One of my childhood best friends growing up, Mary Petrone Collazo, opened this business and has such a creative spirit.  I was so excited to see how she was doing her chocolate business.  Her artistic skills are simply amazing and the kids were in Heaven eating candy/chocolates!  After a few hours of catching up, we headed to Kerrville for the McCharen Family Reunion at Inn of the Hills Hotel.
