Day 2: San Antonio, TX

OMG, I'm so glad we are out of the car! I'm not sure how long we were in the car, but I know it was basically all day! We didn't stop for a break from driving (except for quick gas and restroom breaks) until Ozona, TX where we saw the Davy Crockett monument, then three hours later we pulled into San Antonio and found the hotel we wanted to stay at. It's within walking distance to the Alamo and the Riverwalk.

We headed down to the Riverwalk for dinner and partook in adult beverages at a Jazz bar, then we made our way back up to the hotel. I'm exhausted, so this will be short.

So overall, it wasn't an overwhelmingly exciting day but a few highlights were:
+ Realizing Texas is not that exciting. Yes it is big, but not everything is bigger in Texas--for example, the Wal-mart we stopped at was much smaller than any I've ever been to at home.
+ The best thing about Texas is the 80 mph speed limit. Of course we drove slower than the speed limit--we've heard Texas traffic ticket horror stories--but it was nice that we didn't have to drive 60 mph through the most boring part of our drive.
+ The prettiest part of Texas so far was 335 miles into Texas on I-5.
+ I am not good at taking pictures of signs. After failing to get a picture the Welcome to Arizona sign, Leah gave me a second chance to get a picture of New Mexico, with little to show for it. So officially Leah is going to be taking pictures of all Welcome to (insert state) signs.
+ Two girls sitting at a Jazz bar will get hit on. Awkward, the jazz band was making their way out to their next gig and the bass player came over to our table, invited us to join them at the next bar they were playing at and asked us what our plans were for the night. We told him we were calling it early and we would be going to bed soon.

So that's it for now. Good night friends and family!
