i'm always slightly under-whelmed by the alamo. i guess i just had imagined it bigger and more grandiose in my head. or something. what i took from it this time was that the alamo led to the independence of texas, which led to the mexican war, which led to the united states picking up texas, utah, and a few other states. only a year later after that was when the pioneers arrived in utah. pretty crazy huh? oh and i didn't get a picture (no photography allowed! some man yelled at us for snapping pics with our phones.) but there was a locket on display that davy crockett had given to his gf with a lock of his hair inside! ew! i'm glad we have other ways of showing our affections nowadays.
