Visit a historically unique location that is known as one of the most beautiful buildings in San Antonio, the Spanish Governor's Palace. This National Historic Landmark represents the last visual remnants of the Presidio San Antonio de Béjar. It was the original residence and working office for the captains of the military garrison from 1722 until the early 1800s. Learn about Texas's earliest history under Spanish rule. Tour the rooms furnished with Spanish Colonial period pieces and be delighted with the beautifully landscaped gardens in the courtyard.
When you visit the Texas Air Museum at Stinson Field you will learn about the famous “Flying Stinson Family” and find out why San Antonio is considered to be the birthplace of American military aviation. The museum represents vintage aircrafts centered around World War II, the Pacific and European theaters of that conflict, and covers in detail the early period and “golden-age” of aviation. Be sure to check out their gift shop containing toys, models, and more.
Drive out to Son's Island, a gorgeous, tropical-inspired, three-and-a-half acre island with open-air lakeside Hawaiian cabanas, where you can kayak, paddleboard, swim and wade, fish, barbecue, water slide, and play beach volleyball. Your breathtaking entry includes a drive across a wooden bridge surrounding you with large cypress and pecan trees outlining the perimeter of 4,000 feet of lakefront property. Son’s Island also offers glamping, where you can spend a night under the stars in a luxurious tent furnished with two queen-sized beds, fans, and lanterns.
