My brother and his wife were in San Antonio a week or so ago as my nephew finished basic training (Air Force) and they were there to see him graduate. I would have loved to have been there too. Have fun then and keep enjoying!

I thought that place was great... especially at PA $10. We too are headed East further into Texas, but we are taking our time. We wanted to visit Fredericksburg and Bandera, so we are staying outside of Kerrville for a few days. Then we will move over toward New Braunfels, where we will also visit San Antonio, Austin, Gruene. Perhaps we will meet up somewhere someday.The Bright'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07023160388983798178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-31781912388897981462012-02-12T11:12:47.209-05:002012-02-12T11:12:47.209-05:00I agree with Kimberly and Jerry - Gruene is a grea...I agree with Kimberly and Jerry - Gruene is a great place to visit.
