On March 6, 1836, after a 24 hour battle, approximately 2,400 Mexican soldiers under the command of General Santa Anna overwhelmed the Alamo mission manned by 200 Texas Rangers. Texans remember the Alamo as a heroic struggle against impossible odds, a place where men made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.

Near the Alamo itself, the Alamo Cenotaph, aka "The Spirit of Sacrifice," is a large memorial standing over 60 feet tall, made of Georgia marble and a base of pink Texas granite. It was built in 1939 and includes statues of Jim Bowie, James B. Bonham, William B. Travis, Tennessee congressman Davy Crockett and a female figure symbolizing the state of Texas, holding the shields of Texas and the United States.

Some believe the monument is built where many of the Alamo defenders were put to death, while others believe the corpses of the dead were piled here and unceremoniously burned.

Bonus stops: Take some time to visit the Alamo Museum, open seven days a week.

And if you're hungry, check out The Cove, featured on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives." Part car wash, part laundromat, live music, great menu.

A popular BBQ spot is the Texas Pride BBQ in nearby Adkins. TPBBQ started as a 1940s country gas station store and has gone on to win a wheelbarrow full of awards. Thursday night is Bike Night.
