San Antonio Missions

So we've been to the Alamo every time someone comes to visit but there are actually 5 missions in San Antonio.  While Papa was here, we decided to venture out to see the mission trail and stopped in at  a few of them.  So gorgeous!  .... and great location scouting for my business!
And I will confess.  It was cold and gray that day.  We were all bundled up and Ella was having fun running through the missions and all the rock walls.   These first two photos depict the true weather for our outing.  So the beautiful blue sky you see in others, it's a photoshop trick.... the gray sky was just too bleak for such beautiful buildings :)

We stopped at Mission Espada, and Mission San Jose.  We did see the other two but both were quite a bit smaller and one was under construction.  It was a tad cold to spend the whole day outside....
