Over Yonder: San Antonio
As a sixth generation Texan, I felt it was my moral obligation to take my 9-year-old daughter to San Antonio. Plus she's a huge history buff and really wanted to see the Alamo. Check and check. So, we took a long weekend late this summer and made the five hour trek down from Dallas. It helped that one of my good friends was born and raised there, so we had an insider's vantage point. San Antonio ... what happened? You done growed up! I hadn't been to the Alamo City in years. Like many people, I knew San Antone for the Alamo, the Riverwalk and SeaWorld. But there's a cool, non-touristy side of San Antonio that has emerged, and finding some culinary gems made the trip even more fun as a grownup. Here are our recommendations.
