San Antonio Family Vacation Giveaway

We love sharing money saving travel tips on Traveling Mamas and we love it even more when we get a chance to give away a trip, especially to family vacation destinations like San Antonio. I’ve taken my family to San Antonio for a vacation and we loved every minute of our visit. We played hard all day, visiting historic sites and the variety of nearby attractions. At night, we walked along the RiverWalk, watching barges float by while strains of a passing mariachi band played. We enjoyed a wonderful family meal at an outdoor restaurant and basked in the relaxing atmosphere until Little CajunMama fell asleep in my lap.

The San Antonio Convention and Visitors Bureau is offering amazing incentives for visitors. S.A.V.E. San Antonio offers special rates for hotels as well as discounts on attractions and shopping.

We all love San Antonio and the thought of being able to go there again and enjoy the sites would be fantastic.

It would be a great way to show them the rich history in San Antonio and at the same time getting together with long lost family.

  49. I just watched the promo from the San Antonio Vacation Experience (S.A.V.E) Program….omg I need to go there – being a native Michigander, my travels have been limited to the eastern region of the US – I have always dreamed of traveling to the western states and this would be a fantastic way to experience that for my children & myself. I am hoping to follow in the footsteps of my daughter who, at 19, took a personal hiatius from college to buy a one way ticket to Alaska and stay for the summer….
