Everything's fussier in Texas - Part III

We spent the next two days in San Antonio, where we explored the Alamo, Witte Museum, Japanese garden, zoo, and River Walk. Altogether, it was a pleasant vacation though nothing will ever top Korea for George, and he begs every day to go back to Korea and go to Line Friends and take the train to Busan.

The boys were not impressed with the Alamo, but hopefully won't forget it

The second day we explored the Longhorn Cavern State Park. We took a 90-minute cave tour and saw some adorable sleeping tri-color bats. (BBB came along for the tour.) During the evening, we headed back to Austin to catch some live bluegrass music and eat from a Thai food cart.

Everything's fussier in Texas - Part I

We spent fall break in Texas this year, mostly because we heard there are bats there and Geo has been obsessed with bats since our trip to Carlsbad.

We spent our first day at the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg. We saw an educational program complete with a reenactment featuring a flame thrower that the boys loved. Otto Brown came along and tried to drive a tank.

Later that evening we headed to downtown Austin to the Congress Avenue Bridge and saw thousands of bats fleeing their home underneath the bridge to catch some bugs.

Otto Brown isn't a very promising soldier
