In July, Southeast Texas families pile into minivans and SUVs for their spin on the classic American Road Trip. This issue we share highlights from our visit to San Antonio for SeaWorld, Aquatica, and some R&R at the wonderful Omni Hotel at the Colonnade. We all were able to have fun, learn something, and to create wonderful memories together. At the end of the day, that is the goal of any American road trip – creating family memories. Share your family road trip experiences on our Southeast Texas Kids Directory Facebook Page. This summer is moving pretty fast. Take some downtime from work and chores and create some special memories. Our kids will grow up so fast…

This year we also invested in the “All Day Dining Deal”. While it may seem pricy, once you get to the park you’ll discover that it is a bargain. On a long hot day, it just about pays for itself with unlimited Powerade and bottled water. The quality of the food was a wonderful surprise. The first restaurant we tried was Shamu’s Smokehouse. Wow! The ribs, chicken, and brisket were top quality – way more sophisticated than we expected from any theme park. The sides were also good, and the endless supply of chilled grapes, orange slices, and watermelon was enjoyed by the whole family. Kids like Rosita’s Café, a nice pizza buffet experience. Don’t miss the new Harbor Market, featuring four restaurants in one. I enjoyed the orange chicken, my boys feasted on English style fish and chips, and my wife enjoyed a Shamu-sized salad. Delicious.

San Antonio has a lot to offer Southeast Texas families looking to create memories with a classic American road trip experience. The combination of SeaWorld and the Omni Colonnade will ensure wonderful experiences the whole family will treasure for a lifetime.
