vacation catch up-day 2...

VACATION::

Ok so I'm back and ready to fill you in on day 2 of our San Antonio vacation.

Monday::April 27::Buckhorn Saloon Museum
Today we slept in a little and got up, had lunch at the Alamo Cafe(pretty good food). Then headed to downtown to go through the Buckhorn Saloon & Museum. The Buckhorn features a saloon type bar that's more than a century old. It also features mounted animals from all over the world as well as some "freak" of nature type things to. It was right up Hunt and hub's alley...since they both love animals and hunting to. It also has a small Texas Ranger museum there to and a game room.
Hubs enjoyed locking Hunt up in a replica of a jail. Hunt didn't care for it much...he started whining and crying some. Maybe this will keep him out of trouble in coming years.
We all enjoyed some beer at the bar. Well,ok...Hunt, Kelley and I enjoyed root beer while the guys had "real" beer. You can also sit down to a meal at tables by the bar or do some shopping in their store.
One of my favorite things that they had there were these old fortune telling machines. They reminded me of the movie BIG where Tom Hanks gets his fortune from one and discovers that it wasn't even plugged in...creepy! Luckily our was plugged in...believe me I checked!!! Zelda was the name of the fortune telling gypsy lady that we all got our fortunes done by. I had to take some photos of the old gal!

Since the day was SOOOO rainy we decided not to walk around the corner to the Alamo. We drove by it and that was good enough for us. The rain at times was coming down so hard that it was kind of miserable. So we decided just to do some driving around for a while. We drove out to where my husbands grandparents used to live as well as to the cemetery and around.
Later on we had dinner at the Barn Door. Good food and great pies! I had been there once a long while back with hubs and his parents and grandparents and remembered it to be a yummy place to eat.
So with the rain subsiding...of course, since the day was over. We headed back to the hotel to rest up. Tomorrow...the San Antonio Zoo!...
