re: San Antonio-any suggestions?

went with the fam over mardi gras. Riverwalk is ok, touristy, a few bums but an ok way to kill an hour or so. you can drink on the riverwalk but NOT at the alamo

sea world was fun but it had just opened and the crowd was light. I can see where it'd be miserable on a hot day with a big crowd and long lines. may want to go on a week day and early if possible.

there's a place(forget the name) where you can tour caverns and do a driving wildlife tour. if you have kids, I def recommend. the caverns take a little over an hour and same for the wildlife tour.

The alamo is cool if you're into history but it won't take more than an hour or two. there's a few tourist things to check out near the alamo as well.

we didn't hit the zoo but I hear it's great. if your wife likes to shop, send her to the outlet mall in san marcos. my credit card was smoking when she was done.
