We drove around San Antonio a bit on the first day, saw the Alamo, Mission Conception, and the Bexar County Courthouse. (Mark and I have a goal of someday visiting all the courthouses in Texas - there are 254 counties, so it may take us a little while!) :)
There are several old missions around San Antonio, in fact there is a Mission Trail. Several of these missions were moved from East Texas because of hostilities with the Indians and the French. The most picturesque and best preserved is Conception, unfortunately we were unable to go inside the mission because they are in the process of restoration.
Saturday we visited Fredricksburg. We toured part of the National Museum of the Pacific War and did a little shopping downtown. Sunday we visited Max Lucado's church and heard him preach, then just rested. Monday we headed back after stopping at Krispie Kreme's (I had never been in one.) I enjoyed watching them make the doughnuts.
I live in Texas and have never been to any of these places in all my 50 years...thanks for sharing your trip with us...the photos are great...seems like I have some traveling to do ...someday...God willing....smile..God bless
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time! Nathan and I are thinking about renting a cabin in Gatlinburg for our anniversary this year...It does feel good to get away every once in a while.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had fun on your mini vacation. Krispy Kreme is my favorite place to visit, glad you finally got to go to one.
ReplyDeleteYou poor child! You've lead a deprived life with no Krispy Kremes! Not sure how ya made it all these years! I like to watch them being made. I like the plain ones and the ones with chocolate frosting best.

ReplyDeleteRuthanne - It has been good to hear from you! How are y'all doing these days? (If you have time I'd love to hear from you... you can email me at charitree (at) gmail (dot) com!!) :)
What a treat to hear Max Lucado preach!! I love his books! He also has a daughter named Andrea and was a missionary in Brazil (where I was born) Interesting, huh?!
ReplyDeletePlease tell me you were able to try a warm, fresh Krispy Kreme?!!!! There just isn't anything better!
Enjoyed your album! So glad y'all got to take a little getaway, I'm feeling the need for one about now...that, and a warm Krispy Kreme!
