San Antonio - Day 2

We got up and got ready and our friends met us in the parking lot of our hotel. After a quick review of our directions we got on the road to the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch and Caverns. It was about a 30 minute drive and we were pulling into the Wildlife Ranch.
The Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch is dubbed "African Safari - Texas Style". As you enter the park they give you a bag of food and they tell you to drop the food outside of your car as you drive through the ranch. It was amazing, the animals were right there!!! I think the pictures speak for themselves. My favorite part was when the Zebra stuck his head in our car. I have never seen a zebra so close and I never dreamt of feeding a zebra out of my hand!!!

After the drive through we parked and went in to have lunch in the cafe. After a quick lunch we went outside to the petting zoo area to see some more animals and take some pictures.

Right next to the gate for the Wildlife Ranch is the gate for the Natural Bridge Caverns so we went there next. We took a guided tour of the caverns and saw some spectacular rock formations. The path takes you down about 200 feet into the ground and some parts were very steep and very slippery. I was worried that Grace wouldn't be able to walk it and that we would have to carry her, but it turns out that I had nothing to worry about. Our little girl was a trooper, she walked almost the entire way herself!

It was a long day and we were all exhausted by the time we got back to the hotel so we all took naps. After nap time we grabbed a quick bite to eat then headed to the pool to cool off. The perfect end to a fun day


Look for the continuation of our trip soon!
