The next morning after breakfast at the motel, the Campbells walked to the Alamo, which was nearby. They explored the grounds and buildings and read all of the signs, and suddenly Duffy raced to a low wall and jumped up and started barking. It was as if he were the last defender of the Alamo. How the other visitors enjoyed his antics! Finally tiring of this game, Duffy jumped back down, and the family left the grounds.
About two blocks from the Alamo is the famous River Walk. The family decided to take a boat ride, and MacGregor loved it and stood up in the front with his paws on the boat rail, looking like he was the figurine prow of an old sailing ship. They were going slowly, but it still was enough to ruffle his ears and move his hair out of his eyes. Duffy just sat still for once and waited for MacGregor to sit back down. When the boat trip was over, both dogs jumped off the boat and went with the family to find lunch at one of the many restaurants along the river. The family had Mexican Tacos, and the dogs were given a bowl of fresh water and doggy treats. No scraps from this table.
Finally, the family walked to a nearby park where the dogs could play and run for an hour. The visit to Texas had been a success with many unexpected developments with the dogs along. This was the best family spring break trip they had ever had!
