San Antonio Enjoyment

The Johnston's on the Dave Letterman Show- apparently Ella found something more interesting than the host.

The Johnston's require 2 family pictures. With busy children it's hard to catch everyone smiling together- but they are such great hosts and such wonderful company, we love going places with them.

After the Alamo
After the Alamo we decided to get something to eat. And, we didn't leave the kids at home alone, Anne- a young woman from their ward had come to babysit while we went out. She was great to have on the entire trip. Also, San Antonio is known for the riverwalk, which is a path along a river that runs below street level. There are shops, restaurants, etc. We had seen a place we wanted to try and had consulted the map as seen above, and so we started our journey.
We walked a fair piece and Tanya who was 4 or 5 months pregnant at the time was amazing- but all of us were getting tired and hungry, but Buck and Brian said they knew where they were going, so we kept walking.
The Alamo

The Alamo was a part of history that I had often heard referenced, but I didn't know what actually took place. In fact, the battle at the Alamo was lost by Texas, but the soldiers are honored by their valor in standing against an army many times larger than they were and holding their posts. That is the short version of why they are remembered.

Gunther House San Antonio December 2008
A morning in San Antonio found us having breakfast at the Gunther or Guenther House. They are known for delicious biscuits. I bought some mix and they were just as good at home, just not quite so large. Liam and Ella lead the way into eat.
This gingerbread house is a replica of the Gunther House- and the inside has every detail of the building as well. The cooks prepare a gingerbread house each year during the holidays.
