We purchased tickets for the weekend on the hop-on/off bus to get around. Neither of us are early breakfast eaters, so we decided to head to the Pearl District and grab breakfast at Lorraine, a French bakery. I don't have a picture of my cream cheese Danish with raspberries, but it was divine. Kayla chose a chocolate croissant, and we may have also grabbed some cookies, macaroons, and a lemon blueberry muffin.
Our hotel was a block from the Alamo, so since the skies were blue today, we stopped by for more pictures.
The Buckhorn Museum was interesting, to say the least. This deer was made out of rattlesnake rattles.
The San Fernando Cathedral was built around 1750, and on the weekends they do a 30-minute light show depicting scenes from Texas history as well as cultural images and music. It was a fun evening activity.
On Sunday we had tickets to the top of the Tower of the Americas. Weaving our way there around construction areas was an adventure in itself, but it was a nice view from the top. We also did a 4D movie while we were there.
We had such a great time exploring this city. Neither of us had been to Texas before, and San Antonio did not disappoint. I'm grateful for this time with my oldest, and excited about future trips with the other two girls.
