San Antonio Photo Dump

 Last weekend three of the four human Sunshines went to San Antonio. 

Buck's souvenir San Antonio t-shirt,
which actually came from the Buc-cees
truck stop in Temple Texas.
 

Before I go any further, let me give a shoutout to Buckaroo, who stayed home, walked Luna, fed the pets, washed and vacuumed my car, wrote his paper for school AND missed out on real Mexican food in the name of holding down the fort. His adulting was rewarded with a Costco pizza, brought back by us and a new Buc-cee's t-shirt. 

Last weekend, Polly's Collegiate All State convention was held in downtown San Antonio. She left on Wednesday with her classmates for several days of intense rehearsal before Saturday's amazing headline performance. They were the main act. The entire concert was fabulous. And that's not just the mom-bias speaking. 

Gonna let you in on a little secret: Polly's teacher composed one of the songs the group sung. That's not exactly true: Polly and her teacher composed one of the songs the group sung. 

Marty and I stayed in downtown San Antonio. We hung out on the River Walk (eating real Mexican Food), cruised the river and toured the Alamo. On Sunday, we swung by the Costco and the Trader Joes and filled up two ice chests and three freezer bags before heading back to Texarkana.  

Here are the rest of the photos.

The Alamo Memorial 

A Statue of Jim Bowie 

It seems several of the counties in Texas are named after the men who fought at the Alamo. I live in Bowie County. Actually a great number of streets in Texarkana are named after the men who fought at the Alamo.
