A San Antonio Trip is Always an Amazing Time, San Antonio, Texas
A San Antonio trip is always an amazing time, but this was not our typical trip. This time, we didn’t go in the RV; we didn’t drive our car. Steve and I flew! We saw sights like the Alamo and the River Walk, but this was mostly a new experience.
