We did the classic trip to the Alamo while we were there. I think it was hotter than Sea World! They had a great table set up where the kids could make corn husk dolls like the kids would have had during that time period. They also had a great exhibit in the (air conditioned) library of artifacts. There was Susanna Dickenson's petticoat, letters from Travis, maps, and old cookbooks and home remedy pamphlets. There was also a bond Santa Anna tried to sell when he was trying to regain power in Mexico. Since I am such a Texas History geek, I loved it. I know Makenna learned so much because she had zero Texas History in the 4th grade due to STAAR testing and the new curriculum of death, Cscope, our district has decided to adopt. Oh my it nearly killed me she missed so much. Makes me furious!! I will always regret not homeschooling her last year. But that is another post...
