As you can see, there are many good day trips from San Antonio that your whole family will enjoy. Most are just a few hours or less away. Some are just minutes outside of San Antonio. Most of these towns are easily accessible from freeways and major highways.

A great tip for you is to either buy a GPS unit or rent a vehicle in San Antonio with a GPS unit. Maps are nice, but a GPS unit will actually talk to you as you drive so you don't have to worry about remembering exit names or road names. You can buy a nice one at Wal-Mart for around $100 and use it all over the country. They are fabulous. Last summer, we flew to New Orleans and to Nashville. Having never been, we rented cars with GPS units and they made traveling so much easier.

Depending on the time of year, there are festivals, fairs, and specialty shopping. Most of the time, the weather is beautiful so folks in the Texas Hill Country take advantage of that.
