Day 3: The Alamo & Safari

Today we went to the Alamo, a drive-thru safari, and then on to Fredricksburg! Our hotel in San Antonio was in a great location. We were right on the riverwalk and directly across from the Alamo. We started off our day by having breakfast on the riverwalk. Then we walked over and did a tour of the Alamo.

After the Alamo tour, we loaded up the truck and checked out of our hotel. We made our way to Wildlife Ranch to check out all of the safari animals!

The giraffes and the rhinos are the only animals that were not free-roaming. All of the others came right up to the cars and we could feed them with food we got when we entered the park.

Hudson loves the story of The 3 Billy Goats Gruff so he was really excited when he saw this Billy Goat Gruff!
There were lots of cool animals like the one below. I have lots of pictures but didn't want to bore you with a million pictures of animals! We thought the antlers on this one were really neat.

Here are the rhinos:

Here is Hudson feeding an ostrich that came up to us:

There was a little petting zoo part with little goats and pigs. He thought these goats were hysterical because they kept eating the paper bag that the food was in!

After our trip through the safari, we continued our journey to Fredricksburg. On our way to Fredricksburg we stopped at Lueckenbach to grab some drinks and T-shirts. Lueckenback is a very small "spot" with a post office and music hall made famous by Willy Nelson. It is a big draw for motorcylce riders. After our visit to lueckenbach, we went to our hotel in Fredricksburg to check in. Then we went to main street to grab some dinner. We decided we had to have a genuine German meal since we were in a German town. We ate at Auslanders Beir Garten. www.theauslander.com I had jagerschnitzel, german potato salad, & green beans. Jason had Wienerschnitzel and the same sides. I realized that I must be a true German girl because it all tasted just like the food I grew up on! It was very good though! We walked around for a while but a lot of the shops had already closed up for the day. We decided to get up early the next day to walk around and explore the town some more so we made an ice cream stop and went back to the hotel and relaxed!
