Sometimes great memories are closer to home. Texas has a lot to boast about but our favorite city is San Antonio. The winding Riverwalk (Paseo del Rio) is a fun place to people watch, eat great food and share a Giant Margarita (really!). It’s perfect for meandering along, taking a ride on the river with singing Mariachis and enjoying its very special ambiance. A tour of the Alamo (much smaller than one would imagine) is a must as is a visit to the adjacent Menger Hotel. The history of this famous landmark and Registered Historic Site is all over the Lobby. Signed notes from Theodore Roosevelt, both Ulysses Grant and Robert E Lee, Babe Ruth and more as well as photos. It’s truly a real step back in time.
There is also an Imax presentation about the Alamo that is worth seeing. Minutes away from the Alamo and the Riverwalk, you can also choose to visit Natural Bridge Caverns, Sea World or Six Flags so there’s fun for kids as well as adults.
Great long weekend destination!
