Kirk and Corey Hit the Road

  Our Texas Adventure Continued: San Antonio & Corpus Christi Corey and I made our way down to the gulf coast and stopped by San Antonio for a week to do some sightseeing and visit some old Navy buddies. We loved visiting the ocean, but didn't love the humidity or the wind.   Exploring San Antonio Our first stop in San Antonio was to the Medina River Recreation Area for a little hike.  After spending the winter in the Arizona desert, it was nice to find an area with green foliage and a river for the dog to get some water time. Next, we made our way along the famous River Walk, enjoying the scenery, lively atmosphere, and of course the tex-mex. While we were in the area, we stopped by and visited the Alamo.

This was the first time since we left Utah on our full time RV adventure, that it was cold. So getting into the natural spring probably wasn't going to happen.

Great view from the camping spot for the night. Caverns of Sonora This was our stop on the second night of our...
