San Antonio Texas - October 2010
Back in October of 2010 by wife and I took a trip to San Antonio Texas. We had not taken a trip since our honeymoon to Hawaii in February of 2008, and we decided to go to San Antonio since we really didn't have much money (we were still trying to pay off the wedding reception and such) and I had done some research and came up with the idea of exploring San Antonio's "mission trail" since it looked fun and ..... entrance to all the missions was free!
Keep in mind this was before the days of apps, iPhones, and Google maps. So I had a map of all the missions with some information printed out on paper. Yes, paper! Oh, it was the good old days for sure.
Here are some photos and some brief information that I have had saved on another site for quite some time, well, since 2010 anyway.

The first night in San Antonio, after getting settled into the hotel, we made our way down to the Alamo. Since it was later at night there was hardly anyone there and it was peaceful and reflective.
The Alamo
First morning after breakfast we headed straight to the Alamo.
More than a couple of people told us not to get our hopes up with the Alamo, that we would be disappointed because it is not as big as everyone thinks. However, my wife and I were both blown away with the Alamo. It was much more interesting, enjoyable, and moving than we were expecting. We spent close to two hours just walking around and taking it all in. The Alamo alone made the whole trip worthwhile.

After visiting the Alamo we were ready for some lunch so we headed to the Riverwalk. I wasn't as impressed with the Riverwalk as others, maybe the fact that I almost fell into the river had something to do with that.
