Mission Road

Our last full day in San Antonio, we drove the old mission road.

We started at the southernmost Mission Espada 

Each mission had these great little diagrams so you could picture the full site 

Gia pacing herself 

Elle pointing out the "ladybugs" (all insects, ants, spiders, bees, flys, etc. are ladybugs) 

 

You could still see all the old foundations and a few walls here and there.

We actually got the girls to stand still for a second

This was one of the smaller missions 

After passing by the Mission San Juan (under construction) we stopped at Mission San José.  This mission has the visitor center for the entire San Antonio Missions National Historical Park

 

This mission was much bigger than all the others.
