Exploring Texas

It was the month of June when we decided to go to Texas.  It was still  cool  from our  state but  when we  landed there, oh man, it was hot!  Gladly, most of the  attractions that we explored offered covered walkways which gave us   some shade.  I think the hottest adventure we did was exploring the Alamo, we  chose the wrong day to go there as it was too hot.  I felt bad for the kids as they were  sweating  and  their cheeks looked pink!

The weather did not hinder us from having fun though.    We   tried to see different things while we were there as we never know when we could go back there again.  My kids were very fond of Shamu attraction in Sea World. They were so amazed how  these big  sea critters can be trained.  

Walking around Alamo was fun as it was very rich with history but the weather was   just intense.   I did not even have the  energy to take photos of the  beautiful surroundings. What I enjoyed there the most was the river walk attraction.  It was a relief to finally  explore the place without walking.

We definitely would want to go back there if we have a chance in the future.

  3. Lovely photos sis! We were supposed to go there few days ago during our Eid Holidays off here. Unfortunately, due to the federal shutdown, there's not much to explore so we pushed it some other time only to learn today that the shutdown has been lifted. Good news! We may visit after the Japan trip. :)

    I want to see the Alamo. Aside from those places, any other places of interest you can recommend? Outlet malls too? hehehe

  4. Usually kids are not bother about temperature as long as they enjoyed the trip and of course if they are in good condition as well. Hope you'll be able to go go back there, but next time check the weather forecast first. :)

  5. Oh, didn't know you went to Texas last June pala sis! How nice! Triz has been mentioning about that Alamo thing a lot. Texas is one of the states that we desire to move to. Hopefully, we will be blessed with that opportunity so we can go visit San Antonio as well.

  12. It’s nice to have a break from our usual chores and have a day out with our family. It ensures great fun and happiness for the youngsters and a relaxing time for us parents.

  13. Covered amenities like this really helps us escape the harsh rays of the sun.

  14. well, you can't really tell on what days would be best, until you've experienced it right? the next time you'll visit the place i'm sure there will be best days to see those attractions again.
