Packed up the camping gear and headed off to San Antonio today. Had a little fender-bender on I-45 just before we hit Houston (James was concerned that I had written 'first' before changing it to 'little', saying "First? How many more are we going to have?"). It was really just a little bump from a smaller car that just didn't brake fast enough in some heavy traffic. Luckily our cargo rack took the brunt of the force and honestly, as it happened, I had to ask James "Did we just get hit?". The guy who hit us was very kind and even offered some advice on sights to see when we arrived in San Antonio. It's always fun standing in the middle of an 8-lane highway getting travel advice from the locals but all good things must end and we parted ways with our new friend Kevin about 20 minutes after the collision. We stopped at a Chevy dealer just to make sure the chassis was o.k. and everything checked out all right. The cargo rack will have to be replaced at some point, but now that it's twisted to the side a little bit, unpacking the back of the car is actually a whole lot easier with a few more inches of space behind the bumper! We checked in to the Antonian at about 5:30, took the kids for a swim, ordered some pizza and did a little updating on the blog before slipping on to what has to be the most comfortable mattress I've ever experienced. Maybe that's my neck/back after 6 nights camping talking but it was pretty darn comfy. Tomorrow, we're off to see the Alamo, cruise the Riverwalk and visit the Witte Museum (looks like a good museum and another freebie with our MOS membership). It will be a busy day!
