The saying “everything is bigger in Texas” doesn’t apply when it comes to the prices. The booming Texas city of San Antonio is a great place for a family vacation. The cost of living in San Antonio is 15% lower than the national average. Transportation, goods, services, and groceries are all more affordable here. Additionally, there are so many activities and attraction that the fun is literally non-stop. Visit multiple amusement parks including SeaWorld San Antonio and Six Flags Fiesta Texas. After that, the famous River Walk awaits. Take a 35-minute boat cruise down the San Antonio River, then join a hop-on hop-off bus tour and visit places like the historic Alamo, the Museum of Art, Market Square, and Pearl Brewery. Don’t forget to take off on those back-country roads to San Antonio’s vineyards for a day on the wine tasting trail.
