Destination of the Week: San Antonio

Texas-Sized Fun (and Savings)

San Antonio recently made U.S. News & World Report's list of "Best Family Vacations in the USA" -- beating Disney World and the Grand Canyon. Although this ranking might surprise some, those who know San Antonio will quickly champion the accolade.

Never been? Now's the time to mosey on down. During the Texas "off season" (August-October), travelers can rope a deal as much as $100 off regular prices.

Visitors will discover a vibrant Southwestern culture, landmarks steeped in Old West history, cool rivers ripe for rafting and some of the best Tex Mex cuisine in the Lone Star State. No Stetson cowboy hat required.
