Finally back. Was one long as trip.. I didn't get many photos, I left my digicam on my bed and Nancy didn't want to bring her big dollar 35mm cam. I got a few with my Ipaq phone cam, and we got some with disposable cameras that we'll have developed later.

Its a real b!%@# to drive around San Antonio. Interstates and frontage roads are a bear to get to shops, stores and attractions without knowing your way - the Garmin GPS was a God send most of the time. Every last person we encountered was very nice and friendly, from base personnel to people on the streets. We hit Six Flags, The Alamo, the Riverwalk, Ripley's attractions, toured the base on wheels and afoot. Church services on base was really nice, real early but very nice. 7:30am for first services.. 1st and 2nd week recruits gave up seats for family members that were there for the graduate Airmen.

Here is Nik, Nancy, Hanna, and Airman Kuhn in front of the Alamo.

The front from afar.

The memorial with all the names of those that died defending the Alamo enscribed above the head of the heavy set woman walking through.

There was a parade of re-enactment defenders and Mexican soldiers in front, this is the defenders pausing to face the crowd

Us on an overpass walk at Lackland one evening. I was dragging behind having just handed off Hanna to her mom to carry - 2 miles holding her was enough for me. lol

Crappy pic of what was a beautiful sunset on base. I hadn't noticed I had it set for low resolution until later. Sad

The picture didn't do justice to a beautiful scene.
