The 2013 New Mexico Trip – Day 2

We got up early this morning, finished off the cinnamon rolls we’d picked up, and got the car packed. It’s pretty full, but everything fits and Reese isn’t playing the part of a Tetris brick in the back seat. After saying our goodbyes, we hit the road for San Antonio. The drive was pretty uneventful, though we got there a little early and our room wasn’t ready yet. We walked down to the River Walk to get some lunch, nosed around a little, and then went back to the hotel to grab our cameras before heading over to The Alamo to teach Reese a little about Texas history. We walked around the grounds, took some pictures, made Reese read just about every sign and plaque we could find, and did a little shopping in the gift store. After that we went back to the hotel, dragged everything up to the room, and relaxed for a little while before heading back to the River Walk for some dinner. After dinner, we took Reese on one of the barge cruises down the river. He seemed to enjoy himself, even though we got sprinkled on a little. Finally, we went back to the hotel where I helped him work on the first post in his blog before we called it a night. Tomorrow’s going to be a long day, we’re driving from here to Artesia, NM…
