San Antonio, day 1





We left Austin this morning but didn't get past the city limits before stopping at Cabela's. Jack was sooo happy. It was a great time to stop as our drive today was only an hour, and we were on no specific schedule. We went in, with walkie-talkies, and the kids roamed the wild indoors of Cabela's.

Once we arrived in San Antonio, we checked into our KOA for the next 3-4 nights. It's 80 degrees, the pool is open, and there's a *bus* that will take us downtown for a dollar each! I'm so happy not to try and drive through another downtown. We stayed in camp and caught up on laundry and school.

Tonight we made a fort and are having a movie night, courtesy of my book club gals. Don't let the smiling faces in the fort picture fool you too much.... true confessions, 2 of them were in tears prior to the fort building. I am not perfect, nor are they, and we've had a lot of togetherness. I'm sure I could of handled the fighting situation a little better than I did. There's a good chance the fort is a by-product of a mother's guilt.

We'll spend all day tomorrow at The Alamo and the Riverwalk, via the bus!

Viva la fort! Sounds like a great idea. Hey, didn't you used to have something hanging right behind the driver's side to hold books, laptop, etc? Or, did you ditch that idea thousands of miles ago? Glad got a trip to Cabela's in. How many does that make so far on the trip??? Happy moving watching RodScholarz, we miss you! The Fortunes
