Since we are living in San Antonio, we decided we should at some point visit the Alamo since that is the most noteworthy historical site around. So we made a family day outing of it last week. We printed out the history of the Alamo, which we read to the kids on the drive there. They were very interested in it and it made the whole experience a lot more educational for them since they understood all about it when we were looking around.

The Alamo is right down town and in a neat part of town. There's a beautiful river walk. The river is more like a canal actually with restaurants and cafe's on both sides with bridges across. We all had fun watching the tour boats go by and watching the ducks in the river on our way to the Alamo.
