My parents came in town this past weekend. And I knew exactly what we were going to do with them- take them to The Alamo and The Riverwalk. Levi and I and the boys briefly strolled around The Riverwalk a few weeks back, but didn't really experience it, so we were excited to see what it was really about! We all put on our "Texas gear" and went on our adventure! The weather was pretty nice that morning- a little on the humid side, but we dealt just fine!
We started at The Alamo. Sadly, I haven't brushed up on any of my history, so that part was kind of lost on me. But I can definitely appreciate the architecture and the age and you could really feel the history there! The boys liked checking out the old canons and rifles. After exploring there for a little while, we walked on down to The Riverwalk. We got there early enough so the crowds weren't very bad. We ate first at The Republic of Texas Restaurant, which was the very first restaurant at the Riverwalk, established in 1909 (or something like that). After a good meal and watching the riverboats and ducks floating around, we started our walk around. The scenery was just beautiful! We really walked everywhere we could! It was starting to get crowded, the boys were getting tired, and so were our legs, so we packed up and headed home! It was a perfect day with our family!
