Nancy flew to Houston on Saturday, and we have been busy as bees ever since she arrived. On Sunday, we drove to San Antonio to see what the city had to offer, and, I must say, we were not disappointed! Jean and Jenna met us at the Imax Theater there and we watched a movie about the battle of the Alamo. After that we all wandered around the River Center Mall and peeked at the famous San Antonio Riverwalk. Our highlight of the day was visiting the Alamo, which was actually bigger and more impressive than I imagined. Jim, Jean, and Jenna headed back to Houston later that afternoon, and Nancy, Jacob, and I went to a hotel for the night. Before leaving San Antonio the next day, we strolled around the Riverwalk and took a ride on a tour boat. Besides being informative, the tour was also really interesting. Our guide was witty and quick, which came in handy for him when dealing with the frequent, slurred comments of a loud, but friendly, drunk guy on our boat.
Today Nancy, Jacob, and I went to the Houston Zoo and had a blast. The weather was beautiful and the animals were unusually active. I was pleasantly surprised to actually witness critters up close, personal, and moving around. We would have stayed even longer if the zoo hadn't closed at 5 o'clock.

Handlers watered the elephants at the zoo. That cute baby was only a month old.
This spectacled bear seemed pretty comfortable.
