The week before school we had plans that included a trip to Schlitterbahn but we picked the one day it rained all August. Half the park was closed and we decided that half the park wasn't worth the full ticket cost, so we headed to San Antonio
instead. For anyone who's spent any amount of time as a tourist in SA, you are aware of the strip of activities near the Riverwalk: we filled a day at the Riverwalk Mall, the Alamo, Ripley's Believe It or Not museum, Guinness Book of World Records museum, and two attractions that were more amusement park-like. We will try to make up the Schlitterbahn trip next weekend before it closes for the season. In the wax museum, we met Oprah, George Bush, and several bad replications of other famous people. That particular museum needs a major facelift--they drop in a couple of currently famous people like Sarah Jessica Parker and Britney Spears, but they're right next
to the huge "Driving Miss Daisy" display, which I'm pretty sure was there when I visited this area in high school with my friends. The visit also included a stay in a B&B in New Braunfels which was conveniently located near Gruene, TX.
Gruene hosts a Market Day every 1st and 3rd weekend during certain months of the year. We found a couple of Austin-based craftspeople there, one of which is a jewelry-maker who does beautiful work. I will probably re-visit her in Austin.
