One of our absolute most favorite things about the Christmas season is the décor. It’s nearly impossible not to be in the holiday spirit when everywhere you look are festive trees, inflatable reindeer, and vibrant lights. It’s eye candy at its very best.

By Sara Branstetter | November 1, 2023

Well, Halloween is over, and that means it is now time to turn our attention to the holiday season (at least according to all the television commercials).

By Sara Branstetter | October 16, 2023

Summer 2023 was one for the books. It was the hottest summer ever on record in San Antonio with a whopping 64 triple digit days.

The DoSeum – Kids Museum In San Antonio

By Kelsey Kennedy | September 19, 2023

The DoSeum in San Antonio is one of my favorite places to take my kids. It’s not really a museum.

Is Mi Tierra In San Antonio A Tourist Trap?

By Kelsey Kennedy | July 18, 2023

I adore Tex Mex cuisine. Growing up in Texas, it was a weekly (daily?) staple in our home. Breakfast tacos, ground beef chalupas, taco soup with all the fixings, and homemade flour tortillas were a few of my childhood favorites. This fusion fare, which came from the Tejano people of Texas, is, quite frankly, delicious.…

Where to Eat Near SeaWorld San Antonio

Where to Eat Near SeaWorld San Antonio

By Sara Branstetter | June 28, 2023

I’m going to level with you: food inside SeaWorld San Antonio is BLEH. And the food scene in the surrounding Westover Hills is not much better. For years, my family would groan every time we visited SeaWorld and needed to find some food. The options inside the park fall short of even mediocre and cost…
