And The ADVENTURE Continues...: May 25, 2015 through May 27, 2015 San Antonio Part 1

Monday, May 25th through Wednesday May 27th

Travel day (May 25^th) Left around 7:30am emptied our tanks and was on the road heading towards Dallas. We were watching the weather the whole time as some parts of Central Texas were dealing with flooding, tornadoes and heavy rains. The day was nice and clear. As we started getting closer to Dallas severe thunderstorm warnings started popping up. We decided to stop at a Walmart in Greenville, TX to ride out the storm and spend the night. Had some winds and it rained hard but we were okay. I had made some beef stew that had been cooking in the crock pot all day and it hit the spot. After dinner we decided what we were going to do tomorrow as rain is predicted for the end of the week.

This was a rest stop

BIG overpasses

Day 1 (May 26^th) This is the first time for me in Texas everyone else has been here but none of us have been to San Antonio. People are correct when they say that everything is bigger in Texas. The overpasses here are quite overwhelming. We sailed past Dallas, Waco( bigger than I thought), Round Rock( our niece lives here but we will see her at the end of the month), Austin( I thought was very welcoming), San Marcos( this is the city were some of the flooding has occurred), and at last San Antonio. We had reservations at Fort Sam Houston RV Park. The sites are level with just enough trees. We all will enjoy staying here with full hookups.

Nice bridge I think in Waco

Day 2 (May 27^th) We started our day off with omelets to order. Mike was the chef this morning. We left camp around 11am with us starting at the Alamo. Very interesting and free but we had to pay for parking. After the Alamo we venture down to Riverwalk. What a beautiful place. We walked and walked for hours. Somebody did a good job on laying out all of the little features. What amazed me the most was how clean the walk was even under the bridges. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it. We had a late lunch or early dinner at a Mexican restaurant (Casa Rio) on the waterfront. We were so full even ice cream didn’t sound good. We were home by 5 and we had walked about 9 miles today. Our goal was to try and get 10000 steps in a day. We exceeded our goal by 8000 steps not too shabby.
