A Sunday Drive

After church on Sunday, we decided to go a neighborhood tour since Cool Aunt Jen wanted to see the different areas of San Antonio.  The San Antonio Cultural Division has these neat self guided tours of three different neighborhoods.  We decided to take the Westside Neighborhood tour which looked really interesting because the bulk of it was murals that were painted on the side of buildings.  So even with overcast skies and cooler tempatures, we set out on our adventure.

The first mural depicted San Antonians that had made a contribution to music.



The second mural was a salute to the San Antonians that served in the Vietnam War.


As we visited these murals CA Jen and I would jump out of the car to get a closer look at the murals and take some pictures.  It was after getting back into the car after looking at this mural that we found the car would not start.  After a few tries with little results, we said a prayer and hoped for the best.  Again, the car would not start so with CA Jen's cell phone in had (yes, I had forgotten mine in my church bag) we called a tow truck and Bro. Cole, one of our dear home teachers.  Since we were not in one of the nicest neighborhoods in San Antonio, I was anxious to get my family home.  We were blessed with a very nice tow truck driver who recommended getting my battery looked at once the car had been towed.  Bro. Cole provided us a ride home and all was right with the world.  The lesson I learned was before you head out on an adventure make sure your battery is up to the experience too.
