Family Trip to the Alamo San Antonio is Educational and Inspiring
Kyle could hardly wait for his family to take their trip to San Antonio, Texas. His parents, Rob and Denise noticed his excitement and were not sure what it was about. They hadn’t told Kyle, but it was likely they were going to be moving there. Denise had a some strong employment possibilities with a law firm and it seemed like a positive move for the family. However, they wanted to check this out and visit the city before telling Kyle that he would be moving away from his friends and his school.
After the family had arrived and checked into their room in one of the luxury San Antonio hotels did Denise and Rob discover the reason for Kyle’s excitement. He immediately began to ask when they could visit the Alamo. He had learned about the historic battle and the historic remains in school just last month and he could not wait to visit them in person. In fact, for all Kyle knew that was the reason they were visiting San Antonio in the first place. And he couldn’t wait to report the trip at show and tell and brag to his friends about what he had seen.
It wasn’t until the second day of their stay that the family was able to visit the historic landmark though it was actually extremely interesting and fascinating to all of them. They found out that the originally mission and sanctuary was built in the eighteenth century by the Spanish Empire. It was intended to serve as an educational facility for the American Indians that had been converted to Christianity. However, by 1793, it had been entirely secularized, which was a new word that Kyle learned while they were there, and not much later had become the placement of the Mexican Army group the Second Flying Company of San Carlos de Parras. The family had barely even begun their tour of the museum and fortress compound when Kyle adamantly declared that he wanted to move there and visit the Alamo every day. Well, his parents hoped that at least would make their declaration easier.
