Last year we took a trip to Sea World... it was a quick trip but we had to stop at the Alamo in San Antonio. Touring the Alamo is free and there are many historical items from the siege inside. They say three million people visit the Alamo every year -- more than any other famous place in Texas. The word "Alamo" means cottonwood tree in Spanish. The Alamo was built as another of many missions in the area.
Texans lost that battle at the Alamo in 1836. However only days later, motivated by General Sam Houston, Texans shouted "Remember the Alamo!" battled it out in San Jacinto winning independence from Mexico.
San Antonio has incredible rich culture and history. You can take a tour of all the missions that still stand. It's hot in the summer but there are many things to do and see here. River walk, rides, shopping, tours and "fiesta" in the spring. It's a great city!
