San Antonio - Day Three

Our last day in San Antonio started with a boat ride down the river. Adam had been looking forward to this the entire trip. We had a little time before the tour, so the kids checked out the river and a few fountains.











So excited to be on the boat.








The historic hotel where we stayed (the view from the boat).










Also excited - to NOT sit by Mom.










The only hospital in the US with a bar on the ground floor - it's also where Carol Burnett was born.







Then we checked out the Southwest School of Art and Craft. It's on the site of an old Ursuline girls' school. We even got a personal tour from a nice docent who had actually attended the school as a child. Adam and Lottie checked out the Art O Mat, which dispenses $5 art pieces. Adam got a little Frankenstein painting; Lottie got a necklace.










You can see the lazy Susan that the cloistered nuns used to distribute food to the public (next to the door) - it was Adam's favorite.




























Trying on a coonskin cap - our little Davy Crockett.
