Remember the Alamo

Posted by Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

We evidently came to Texas on a week of record high temperatures for this time of year, lucky us. Shannon mentioned earlier that this must be what it would feel like to be inside the clothes dryer. I think I concur. :)

We spent today taking a trolley (which actually turned out to be a bus) to the Alamo and walking around a while.

The girls were all excited about taking a trolly so when the bus rolled up, they were a little disappointed but they got over it when the saw the sideways seats. Obviously I have sheltered children – they’d only ever been on a big yellow school bus so the city bus was a novel event.

I had to take a picture of the seat dedicated to Rosa Parks. I guess I live a pretty sheltered life too – I didn’t know they had those.

I liked the round buildings along the Riverwalk area.

The Alamo is rich in history – but I tell ya, these trees absolutely blew me away. Gorgeous.

A passing lady stopped to take a picture for us.

The girls were hot and couldn’t WAIT to get back to the pool.

After a quick question posed on Shannon’s facebook of suggestions on where to eat dinner, we ended up at Earl Able’s. It was a good meal… we even splurged on dessert. (Gonna have to wear stripes when I get home so they’ll know if I’m walking or rolling.)

Today, we’re off to the outlet malls in San Marcos. Woo-stinkin-hoo. :P

The first time Luby says “I’m tired, can we go back to the hotel?” which is code for “I want to SWIM” – I’m liable to wig out. She must have said that a million times at the Alamo! Sheesh.

    Good thing you didn’t show up in August, this is just mildly hotter than hell time of the year. You enjoying those morning lows of 80 degrees with a heat index of 90? Welcome to Hell, I mean Texas…
