Today we went to the Alamo. We saw the shrine to the heroes of the Alamo. Many people died defending the Alamo and taking a stand for Texas independence. One of the heroes was Davey Crockett. Then we went on a boat tour of the River Walk. Before the River Walk we went to a Subway and had lunch. We saw alot of REALLY tall hotels. Right now we're staying at our friends the Dahlingers. They have two little 4 year old twins. One is Timothy and the other is Paul. So far I'm having a Blast!!!! by Gracie
What a day.....we woke up to sunshine and bright skies!! The weather forecast was for thunder, lightning, and rain, rain and rain.....I just have to praise God for the things that he is doing for us.....
My verse for today is Psalm 147:5.....How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension!
The Dahlinger family have been the most gracious hosts!! Monique had breakfast all ready for us this morning and how wonderful it was to have a homecooked meal and a shower! We all spent the day in San Antonio touring the Alamo, exploring the surrounding area, walking along the Riverwalk and taking a boat tour of the Riverwalk. It was a beautiful day, we all wore short sleeves.......we bought some souvenirs and actually got out of the Alamo with only one gun related item for Christian.....that is truly amazing........

ReplyDeleteHi Pilgrims! Love the blog...humor and all...nice to see these places through your eyes...funny to think of snow in Arizona...I know the feeling of seeing snow when you are prepared for warmth. Oh no! Great scriptures, love the one about marriage. Look forward to seeing you all soon. Lisa from warm 89 degree Virginia. (:
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see your photos of the Alamo and River Walk! Allyson and I will be in Washington DC for a couple of the days you all are there, that's a pretty funny coincidence. We'll be on a 10 day college tour through 18 states! :)
