San Antonio, TX

In October, Ash and I went to San Antonio for the American Dental Association convention while my mom stayed home with the kids. It was a good break and the first vacation Ash and I have taken alone without kids in a loooong time! We were able to do a ton of fun things while we were there. First, we took a ghost tour downtown. Here is our tour guide under an old tree where they did a lot of hangings, so supposedly we may be able to detect ghosts with our ghost hunting equipment (laser gun that detects changes in temperature...if you saw a more than 6 degree drop in temperature while focusing it on one spot it was likely a ghost/spirit was present)

Ash using a dousing rod to follow "energies" If you held it and weren't thinking of anything specifically, it would swing around in circles, but once you thought of a person or thing to point at, it would automatically point to it. It was a lot of fun to play with so we bought one and brought it home and Xander was even able to make it work!

During one of Ash's lunch breaks, we went on a tour of the Alamo. It was actually really small! I thought it would be bigger.
We went on a riverboat tour. It was really cool. The river was lined with restaurants, hotels and stores. We ate at a couple of places down there.

On our last night there we went to Ripley's Haunted Adventure, Guinness World Records Museum (see pictures below), on the Tomb Raider 3-D adventure ride, and made a wax model of our hands held together.
