San Antonio FIESTA How is it?
 

Is this worth a 3day weekend, also Noble Inns- Jackson House is this a good B&B to stay at. Where should my wife & I eat. What are the 3 must see places or must do activities in San Antonio.

Just got back from there a few weeks ago. Had a great time. Things I'd suggest:<BR>1. Take Riverwalk Boat Tour - Only $5 -I thought it was very entertaining(we had a great guide and did this first thing. We felt better acclimated to the layout of the Riverwalk when we later walked it also)<BR>2. Paisano's Restaurant- was our favorite place to eat.(though do get a "Prickly Pear Margarita" and their "guacamole salad" at Boudros) Both restaurants are on the Riverwalk.<BR>3.We enjoyed Jim Cullum's Jazz Band at The Landing. Should also have free concerts at Vallita(an outdoor stage on the river)during Festival.<BR>4 Also liked the "Institute of Texas Cultures" if you like museums.<BR>5. Take really good walking shoes and have a great time.<BR>

The weekend before is as fun as the weekend at the end. The River parade is usually on Monday night. Night in Old San Antonio is Tuesday-Thursday or Friday, Day Parade is Friday, night parade is Saturday. Check savisit.com or mysanantonio.com for more information. Definitely worth the time. SA knows how to party!

IMHO, there's always a good time to behad in San Antonio! <BR><BR>There are lots of good restaurants to pick from. Our favorites: Tomatillo's on Broadway (5 minutes from downtown by car), County Line BBQ and Rio Rio on the Riverwalk.<BR><BR>If you have a car (and I would recommend one) and you like history, be sure to do the Mission Trail. It's 5 missions and they are just south of downtown. Do the Visitors' Center at San Jose first. It has a very good museum and a film. We spent half a day doing this and really enjoyed it.<BR><BR>Of course, shopping and drinking a margarita on the Riverwalk are always fun!<BR><BR>See ya there this weekend!

We had a wonderful meal at "Boudros" at Riverwalk!! We were there a couple of weeks about and did the Riverwalk boat tour in addition to a buggy ride. My kids loved the Ripley's Believe It or Not & the Wax Museum. We did the IMAX movie about the Alamo at Rivercenter Mall. Would recommend everything we did!
