The Alamo

While the kids complained about getting up early. It is definitely worth doing so you can see the Alamo before the crowds arrive. We were here when they opened and could walk right in. Later in the afternoon, the line was around the block to get in.

San Antonio Riverwalk

Walk along the Riverwalk to explore the stores and grab a bite to eat.

Or take a ride on one of the river boats. This is a great way to get a lay of the land and the views are so pretty. We visited in November, so they were setting up the Christmas lights.
