Although Texas is known to be very hot during the Summer, a fun-filled escape to San Antonio can be a great way to get some sun, cool off, and tour this fiesta city, the home of the Alamo!

| Sea World is one of my favorite amusement parks because you can see lots of animal shows, go on water rides, rollercoasters and so much more. It is fun and educational! You can't miss the Shamu show; sit up in the front rows and you'll get a good splash right from Shamu! If you are vacationing it is a good idea to set one day aside for Sea World. |
