The first stop in this excursion is the San Antonio Botanical Garden. The garden has 38 acres of seasonal flowerbeds and year-round flowerbeds. It also has different areas such as the Texas Native trail, which consists of plant communities typically found in the Hill Country, East Texas Piney Woods, and South Texas!
After a morning at the Botanical Garden, spend the afternoon touring the famous Riverwalk. Located in downtown San Antonio and lined by several shops and restaurants, makes this a must visit. From this central location, you can visit the Alamo. The Alamo Mission was the center of the Battle of the Alamo in 1836 and all that remains is the famous chapel, now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The trip takes place Saturday, August 29 from 8 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. The $50 price includes transportation, admission, and snacks throughout the trip. Sign up at the International Office Online Store.
