We squeezed in two final tourist stops on our last day in San Antonio before starting the 3-hour drive home. Just down the road from the DoSeum was the ZooEagle train, a train that runs around the entire city park where the San Antonio zoo is located. We didn't actually visit the zoo but just bought tickets for the train ride. The lines for the train were fairly long since the zoo was having a Halloween event that night and appeared to be packed with people.
We liked being able to sit down and relax on this train ride, and having a costumed train conductor was a nice touch, too.
We crossed over the San Antonio river, passed by golf courses, and went through some wooded areas.
After the train ride, we probably could've headed home based on our family's energy level, but you just can't visit San Antonio without stopping by the River Walk! Plus, this stop was just off the highway on our route home anyway. :)
Cody and Jaden were very curious about the river that went right up next to the sidewalk and the fun-looking boats that traveled along the river. What a beautiful and unique part of the city!
When Jaden and Cody asked about going on a boat ride, we caved in and bought tickets for a short tour. The historical information given was far over the boys' head, but they seemed to enjoy the boat ride experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed our little getaway to San Antonio and sure packed a lot into our 2-day vacation. Our exhausted boys slept the whole way home!
I'm so glad you took this family adventure! I bet your boys are still talking about certain parts of your fun trip!
