Visiting Texas: Best Things To Do In San Antonio

San Antonio is the second largest city in Texas and it's filled with so much history. I've been to San Antonio a few times but only once as an adult, so my last visit was very memorable and inspired me to share a few of my favorite places in the city and along the way. Also, if you're a San Antonio local and are looking to save on fun things to do in San Antonio check out PogoPass.
