Day 3: San Antonio and the Alamo
We left Louisiana bright and early at a crisp 5:30. We started to make our way to San Antonio, Texas. Some clothes were still wet from the monsoon we faced in New Orleans, but we made the most of the wet and early morning anyway!
In the morning, the majority of us spent the first two hours getting some more shuteye. However, later on in the morning, some of us, like Isabella, Elijah, and others, played card games. Others filled the time making bracelets, such as Savy, Katelyn, Finley, Laine, and others. Madison and Kelsey spent the long ride playing the alphabet game. Although we somewhat missed the rain New Orleans offered, we thoroughly enjoyed the sun through Texas.

Elijah pumping gas into the van for his job as a site manager. Still working hard, even on his birthday!
Around lunchtime, we got to Buc-ee's, where you could find anything and everything we ever needed or wanted. After a quick photo with Buc-ee's Beaver, we all went into the alternate universe that is, in our opinion, the best gas station in America. Some people, like Paige and Stella, got drinks to pass the time. While others like Jacee and Larkin got food like the famous brisket sandwiches and chicken tenders. Lauren, Alyssa, and many others got stickers to put on their water bottles.
Soon after we arrived in San Antonio and stopped at the bathroom before touring the Alamo site. A guide Tony gave us a rundown on what went down during the Battle of the Alamo, and then we stopped by the gift shop for any souvenirs.
After touring the Alamo, we took a walk down to the San Antonio Riverwalk. We split up into smaller groups to take some photos and explore more of this cute Texas town. Some groups got ice cream, and another group enjoyed some queso and guacamole at a popular Mexican restaurant. Some of the boys, including Graham, George, Landon, and Brady (who was wearing a sweatshirt?! We guess it helps that he's actually from Texas), among others, went off quickly to tour the rest of the Riverwalk and took several photos. They ended up at a Whataburger and got a few things to hold them off till dinner. All of us stayed mostly around the Alamo (We remember!), and we went back to the bus with a sense of reverence.
Dinner tonight was flown in straight from Italy, with none other than Pizza Tortilla Wraps! Made fresh on the buses and Vans, this was the best meal made by the Happy's today! It was a good last meal from them, and we know the Grumpys can do as good a job as they did!
After dancing our hearts out, we are now ready to sleep under the Texan stars at Schreiner University! The Bashfulls are officially moving up in ranks and are the Dishwashers!!! Yay?! Mom and Dad we promise to not break any dishes or put you to shame with our dishwashing skills.
We switch jobs tomorrow, so this is our last goodbye, we hope you've enjoyed these past few days with the Bashfuls!
- LOVE Larkin, Graham, Ella, Alannah, George, Katelyn, Isabella, Luca, Brady, Maddie, Kelsey, Zander, Lauren, and Lindsey! We will miss the blog soooooooo much!! Love you Moms and Dads <3
