Day 2 in Texas

Texas day 2

Today, (Wednesday) was my second day in Texas. I went to the pool at our hotel last night for a swim, and it was so cool and colorful. There was different colored lights in the pool, and it was also a heated outdoor pool. The view was spectacular. But this morning, my mom left early to go to a conference, so the rest of my family and I walked to Denny's for breakfast. I had these sticky bun pancakes that were SO GOOD. It was two fluffy pancakes stacked on top of each other, that were glazed and had some sort of brown sticky thing on it. It was basically if you took pancakes and a cinnamon bun and cooked them together. They were the best. After that, we walked back to the hotel, and took a little break. After, we went to go see a 48 minute movie about the Alamo, and how it came to be today. It was very informational and detailed, except I was covering my ears for a lot of it, because the volume was very loud, and most of the movie was gun fires, and cannons. Once the movie was over, we went to the actual Alamo. There were lots of landmarks to look at and see, and the Alamo looked exactly like it did in the movie in terms of like the walls and ceilings.There were lots of landmarks, Soon, we went to the Tower of the Americas. If you don't know what the Tower of the Americas is, it is a 750 foot observation tower, also with a restaurant inside. Also, very slowly it turns in a circle while you are up there. I can see the tower from my hotel window, and I always see elevators going up and down. It doesn't take very long to get up there. We took lots of pictures and videos there. What was cool was that you could go outside, so that it would just be a glass window in front of you, and you could see like everything. The view was extraordinary. Next, we wanted to do something fun before we went to dinner- we contemplated either going to Six flags the next day or trying to go on a Segway Tour a that time. The times didn't work out for the Segway tour, so we think we are going to try to go tomorrow instead of Six flags. I remembered that there was a Dave and Busters down the street at the mall right off the Riverwalk. So, we walked there and spent around an hour at the arcade. It has so many arcade games. My brother spent the whole time playing a game called Crossy Road, and racked up over 3000 tickets. I decided to give some new games a try, but on some games I played it didn't even give me any tickets, so that was cheap because even if I did good on the game, I wouldn't get any tickets. I got just over 1000 tickets, but i wasn't mad that I didn't get very many tickets because I knew I had to get something small, because we are flying back on Friday so it would have to not really impact my room in my suitcase. I got 3 small packs of Haribo gummy bears, and pink LED light pulse earbuds that by the pulse of the music you are listening to, the LED lights go up and down the sides of the earbuds. I also went to a dinner tonight. We went to a barbecue place and got some really yummy ribs. I really recommend this place.
