There are many fun things to do here in Texas, and especially here in San Antonio.For example, the Alamo is here in San Antonio.
"The Alamo, originally known as Mission San Antonio de Valero, is a former Roman Catholic mission and fortress compound, site of the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, and now a museum, in San Antonio, Texas.
The compound, which originally comprised a sanctuary and surrounding buildings, was built by the Spanish Empire in the 18th century for the education of local Native Americans after their conversion to Christianity. In 1793, the mission was secularized and soon abandoned. Ten years later, it became a fortress housing the Mexican Army group the Second Flying Company of San Carlos de Parras, who likely gave the mission the name "Alamo"."

Very cool.
Another thing down here in San Antonio is something close by to the Alamo, called the 'Riverwalk'
I remember going there ONCE with my family...
Well and of course there is the San Antonio Texas Temple for the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints. I remember when they built the Temple here in San Antonio. It was dedicated in 2005. Several of my siblings and I performed in a Jubilee performance for the Prophet. The President of the Church at the time was Gordon B. Hinckley.
No pictures will be posted. I was fifteen.
Well on day#3 I failed to mention (probably because I was so excited about writing about how I got to DRIVE) that my parents and I were able to go to the Temple.
Its a hour and a half or two to drive, which is very convenient for us.
(Not as convenient as when I was in college; I could see the Temple from my window!)
