Happy 10th Birthday Cassandra! San Antonio part 2

Hello!

Well we had another eventful day in San Antonio yesterday! We had a wonderful breakfast and headed down to the barge tour on the river. We had a great tour guide and learned a lot. Probably my favorite was the building built by 2 investors for $3million in 1927 and then after the "crash" the city of San Antonio bought it for the back tax amount of $30K. It is beautiful architecture, gargoyles and all!

It started raining after dinner last night. That was really cool and really a bummer because we had a Ghost Tour scheduled for Cassandra's birthday. The guy is a member of TAPS (those of you who watch Ghost Hunters on Sci Fi) understand this :) so we got there, got the tour started and then it started raining buckets of water. After an hour we gave up and went back to the room. Alyssa had also fallen asleep on Shane's shoulder before it started and you can only carry 30+lbs of sleeping baby for so long! Reluctantly, we headed back to the room but tried to make up for it by ordering churros, ice cream sandwiches, a pot of hot chocolate and other goodies at 10:30.

Today is supposed to rain all day so we are going to the mall for a bit. Tomorrow we head back home.
