So I actually came back from San Antonio Friday night, but I was too lazy to post my update of my trip because I had so much stuff to do after the trip, and I was too lazy to do anything. So here is my trip.
Day 1
We started off in our 2005 Mazda MPV to Llano, Texas. My family originally wanted to drive on I-35, but our GPS insisted that driving on rural roads was somehow faster. We listened to the GPS, and we were led on a highway. The highway soon turned into a relatively busy two lane. There was a stretch of road construction. Needless to say, we were stuck in traffic for a while. I put on some Whitney Houston. After the traffic, the rest of the trip was smooth. We ate at a local Sonic in a little town.
Then we hit country road 2005. It was literally in the middle of nowhere, with no civilization to be found on either side of the road. There were probably 4 or 5 cars that we passed in the 16 mile stretch of road.
We came back to a larger road about twenty minutes later. Form then on, there wasn't much drama. Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes populated the side of the road. Eventually, we arrived at our destination, Enchanted Rock, a giant dome of granite rising about 1850 feet above the ground. There were many people there, which is surprising because it was a Thursday and there weren't many people the last two times we went there.
The climb up and down wasn't hard, but I had altitude sickness so it was frightening for me. It was actually scarier going up. Anyways, we spent about an hour and a half at the place before we continued to Kerrville, where we stopped at the Guadelupe River.
We arrived at San Antonio at about seven. All the hotels were full. We borrowed Starbuck's Wi-Fi and booked a Comfort Suites in San Marcos. Then, we ate at a Pho noodle place at University Square.
It was ten at night when we pulled in at Comfort Suites. The entire front of the Mazda was covered in insects of all kind. Everybody took a shower and fell asleep.
Day 2
We woke at about eight in the morning. We left the hotel at ten after eating breakfast and getting ready for the day. First was a cave. It was nice, with plenty of intriguing formations and odd things. The next stop was the San Marcos Premium outlets, where we spent a long time shopping. Lunch was had at the Taste of China buffet. We started home after lunch on the interstate.
That's when traffic hit us. It was all stop and go from somewhere in between San Marcos and Austin to just north of Austin. The jam was horrible. After traffic sped up, a gray van about eight cars ahead of us kept braking. Then, he braked really hard and almost caused an accident. A black Dodge Ram went off the side of the road right in front of a big rig, which swerved off the highway and left room for a panicking Lexus RX. Fortunately, all was well once that snafu ended. We arrived home safely at around seven thirty PM.
Day 3
My dad and I decided to get the car washed. We went to TradeMark Car Wash on McDermott Street in Allen, Texas. Once we got the car back, there were two new dents on the A-pillar and scratches on the driver's door! We did not pay 12 dollars to get our car destroyed!
