Better Things To Do In San Antonio
Posted on November 22nd, 2009 No commentsI am sure you have heard the saying, “my parents went to where ever and all I got was this t shirt.” Well, that is exactly what happened when my parents went to San Antonio. All I got was a San Antonio t shirt. Do not get me wrong, its a very nice shirt, but I would really have liked to make the trip.
San Antonio is the only city in the United States that is home to five original Spanish Colonial Missions. For history enthusiasts, San Antonio is an exciting destination. The Alamo or the San Antonio de Valero Mission is a former mission and fortress that was the scene of the legendary Battle of the Alamo in 1836. San Antonio is also famous for La Villita, one of the first settlements of Spanish military and their families.
Another excellent tourist destination within San Antonio is the Paseo del Rio, or the River Walk. This is a path made of cobblestone and flagstone surrounding the San Antonio River as it meanders through the city center. The River Walk is lined with parks, cafes, boutiques, nightclubs, hotels, and high rise office buildings as it winds it way for almost two and a half miles. The city is also home to the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA and to two large theme parks, the Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Sea World San Antonio.
All of this to see and what did my parents do? They visited Atlas Floors San Antonio. Yes, they visited a flooring company. My parents said that Atlas Floors has the best selection of hardwood flooring anywhere. They have promised me that on the next trip to San Antonio I will get to go and we will not be visiting any flooring stores. Hopefully, I will get to see Six Flags or Sea World. I am sure a much better time will be had by all at those locations.
