Hello!
It's Raegan and Brandi and we just returned from a weekend in San Antonio, Texas. We flew out of Roanoke on Saturday morning and arrived in San Antonio at lunch time. We took a riverboat cruise down the San Antonio River which runs along the Riverwalk. The Riverwalk is beautiful and much more lush and tropical than we had pictured. There are sidewalk cafes and shops along about 2 and 1/2 miles of the river. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Riverwalk which is in the process of being renovated. It is a moderate hotel at the end of the Riverwalk. Not the best location but it served its purpose. We would recommend the Hyatt or the Marriott Rivercenter which are more centrally located. San Antonio is known for it's Tex-Mex food and we ate plenty of it! On day two we took the hop-on-hop-off trolly tour of downtown and visited the Alamo and two other missions as well as the Mexican Market. The Market was a bit touristy for our taste but the food was great. San Antonio is a great destination for couples, friends or families. There is a SeaWorld and a Six Flags there as well, so it would make a great family vacation destination.
