We went to visit our son Micah and his family in Houston, and took a 3 hour road trip to San Antonio to attend my 52nd temple -- the San Antonio Texas Temple. The temple was dedicated in 2005 and is located at 20080 Stone Oak Parkway in San Antonio. This temple reminds me of the Snowflake Arizona Temple, partly because of the waterfall in front, and also because of its size. It is a small temple. It is filled with beautiful stained glass. In fact, the sealer who officiated our sealing session told us that this temple had the most stained glass of any temple in the world, until the Rome Temple was completed. There is beautiful stained glass everywhere you look. That is my favorite thing about this temple! We performed sealings as a family, and then Teancum and Lizzie went to the baptistry and performed baptisms as well. While we waited for Lizzie and Teancum to come out, we enjoyed walking around the beautiful grounds and admiring the view from the temple. One of the most special experiences while on the temple grounds, was that a friend of ours opened his mission call over Facebook live and he was called to the San Antonio Texas mission! It was a very special coincidence to be there at the same time that he read his call!
While we were in San Antonio we also went to see the Alamo and drove past the Riverwalk. We went to eat at Torchy's. We stayed at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott and had a suite with 2 double beds and pull-out couch, adjoined with Micah & Jancy's room that had one king bed and a pull-out couch, both for a great price. It was fun to walk around the Alamo, and it was free! We just scheduled our tour (and were an hour late because the temple took longer than we planned, but they took us anyway!). San Antonio is humid and warm, but not unbearably so in May. It is definitely worth the trip, especially to attend the beautiful temple!
