While we were in San Antonio, we stopped to walk around the Temple grounds. It is a small temple by some standards but very beautiful. There is always a special peace around the temple grounds, wherever you go.
Beautiful stained glass windows on all sides - this one looked like the tree of life.
Next stop was another important building, special for another reason - the Alamo. They don't let you take pictures inside, but it was a very interesting place and we learned a lot about the battle and the history that happened there. The kids liked it more than I thought they would, although Jeremy got feeling a little yucky when he realized he was in a place where so many people died. They liked the stories of the brave men, though, and seeing the places they had read about. Texas really has some interesting history and a lot of passion for freedom.
