Hi Jeanna, Aren't we lucky to have so many wonderful things to do here in our own hometown?  Happy Mother's Day.

Jeanna-

Geez, it's been years since I have been on the little train in Brackenridge...your list makes me want to go out and be a tourist again!

Thanks for the reminder!

It's been a few years since I've been in SA, and we have some relatives there. Looks like it may be time for another visit....

Terry - Yes, we have a ton of great things to do here in San Antonio, I have only listed a few ;-)

Shirley - We are very lucky!  I hope you had a great Mother's Day!

Sheila - You are welcome!  I have a zoo membership, and take my kids at least twice a month (more during the summer) and we end every zoo trip with a train ride! 

Cheryl - If it has been a few years, you will be surprised with all the great improvements!

Kristin - It did take a while...but I had fun doing the research! I manage to sqeeze my big behind into the tiny seats, so I am sure you can!  It is a tight fit for me but so worth it ;-)

Hi Jeanna, I grew up in San Antonio but haven't even visited there in 4 years.  Your list made me realize that there is much I haven't seen in San Antonio.  Thanks for the list of things to do.

We don't realize our cities have so much to offer until we find a list like this.
