Next month I'm getting a few unexpected leave days. I need to unwind and get away from San Antonio with the wife, but don't want to spend all of my time off traveling. I'm trying to find something within a 3-4 hour drive. I was thinking about a bed & breakfast in Hill Country or even heading east to the beach. I'm pretty new to SA and don't know the surrounding area very well. Any suggestions?

Fredericksburg is just up the road a piece. There's a great place to stay that features log cabins imported from all over the states and reconstructed on site. There's great shopping in town and the Nimitz Museum and a couple of gunfights a day. Luchenbach, Texas, is close by and a great place to hang out and listen to live music out back of the General Store both day and night.

CPT (Join to see) A nice trip would be to Houston to see Space Center Houston if you have not already seen it. In the Houston area, also visit the Kemah Boardwalk, and Galveston. The San Antonio Zoo and Sunken Gardens are very nice. Corpus Christi is also worth a visit.
