Me, too! I went there so much when I was little (my great-grandmother and great aunt lived in SA), I thought our family owned it. LOL.

You and me both. We were looking at brochures for Europe (he finishes school first week of May so we could go when it is still cheap), and then realized we already decided on Convention. He's a good sport. Barring anything ridiculous we'll be touring the Alamo.

Just be prepared - the Alamo is so much smaller than most people realize. That is not to take away at all from the sacrifice of those there - and also, it is in the big thick middle of town - which surprises some people who expect it to be like "in the movies".

He's going to be entertaining himself while I'm clapping and singing and doing "secret squirrel stuff"; he'll probably band together with the other AlphaGam widowers/husbands/boyfriends/men of indeterminate relationships and do something fun.

Is he a golfer? San Antonio has some beautiful courses.

I grew up in SA and only visited the Alamo once on a school trip but always saw it on the weekends from afar when I went to the club that was practically next door (Bonham-not sure if it is there anymore?). I took it for granted and now that I no longer live there I do miss it. Have fun and stay safe!

They will have a GREAT time at Mi Tierra - the mariachis(sp?) are super!
