San Antonio Texas

The missions are worth a look, I think there are several in and around the city.

If you have kids there is a six flags or equivalent outside of SA. I had plenty of business trips to SA - always enjoyed the restaurants and basketball.

My sister travels to San Antonio often.....she talks about, "Rudy's Barbecue. "
Might want to give it a try.

Of course you have the Alamo, river walk, 6 Flags, the missions, and Sea World. We also have the Zoo and botanical gardens, several museums and the market square. I've eaten a Rudy's before and do not like it, too greasy for me.

Some possibilities.
Buckhorn Museum
San Antonio Missions
El Mercado
Sea World

Greene Tx oldest danced hall
tower of America's
The Hill country LBJ Ranch
Natural Bridge Cavern's
Natural Bridge Wild life drive thru park.
you can't go wrong with any Texas BBQ (everyone has a opinion on the best) personally I like Rudy's among any that I have tried.
Mexican food same way haven't found any I haven't liked.

Rudy's is good BBQ but I like Coopers BBQ better. New Braunfels downtown area is full of interesting things to see and do.

For brisket at Rudy's, order extra lean with outside crust (the driest part).
Turkey is good.
First time visitors can get a sample of everything or whatever they offer to sample.

The missions and the Alamo are close to each other by todays standards. The Alamo will be the popular mission.

The Tower of America is within walking distance of the Alamo. They have a great 3-D movie on Texas that shouldn't be missed.
Don't like the BBQ's mentioned? Try Chris Madrid's Hamburgers.
If your going to New Braunfels for the Dance Hall then make sure and stop at Winery on the Gruene. They don't have any wines that I don't like.

Wow, great info. Thanks everyone.
