Day 1 ~ my first day

There are lots of places to see and enjoy in the city but I would like to mention few of them in detail
Friedrich Wilderness Park- Trek into this park and you will feel like you have wandered far into the hill country. Only a short drive up from downtown, Friedrich Wilderness Park offers 5.5 miles of hiking trails, which vary in terms of their difficulty levels. The park also boasts the most improved handicapped trails in the region. The more difficult trails can be a great workout, while the lower levels offer an easy walk in a beautiful setting. If you choose the highest level and find yourself being passed quickly by kindly older men don't despair; they are likely retired military officers from the nearby army base. In addition to its hiking trails, the park hosts a bird population so diverse that it attracts even hard-core bird enthusiasts. Guided interpretive hikes are available. For lodging select only cheap hotels in the city. As they offer great discount to the tourists at cheap prices.
Artworks-An art studio for children, this place is a gold mine for your budding Matisse or O'Keefe. The staff of patient souls doesn't mind if there's paint on the floor or clay under their fingernails; they feel that art is process and that people, and children in particular, should be allowed to explore and experiment to their heart's content. Painting, clay sculpting, drawing, crafts, collage and more beckon artists as young as age two into the Artworks studio. Artworks offers regularly scheduled classes and opens its doors for field trips; it can also be reserved for private birthday parties.

Day 2 ~ my second day

Goliad state historical park- it is just 75 minutes southeast of san which is linked to one of the most pivotal moments in Texas history. After two days of fierce combat, Texas forces, commanded by Col. James Fannin Jr., surrendered to their Mexican foes on March 20, 1836. Upon their peaceful surrender, the Texans were imprisoned and later put to death under orders by General Santa Anna. As word spread, Texans embraced the war cry, 'Remember Goliad!' Goliad State Historical Park is a 187-acre piece of land that houses the Mission Espiritu Santo church and its living quarters and grounds, as well as an informative museum that documents the mission's history. For the children, there is a small petting zoo that features goats and rabbits. The San Antonio River runs through the park, offering fishing and canoeing opportunities for visitors.
For staying I select a hotel which was among the hotels in san antonio. This hotel was very cheap and it was offering very large amount of discount at cheap prices. The hotel was very clean and very much decorated. There was a pleasing environment all over. The name of the hotel was the westin san antonio. This hotel offers very nice services to the visitors which pamper them. The cheap price of the hotel attracts tourists from all over the world.
