I don't live in San Antonio so I can't recommend any groomers. I have spent lots of time in SA so here are my recommendations.

San Antonio has a lot of Texas history - if you are interested in the like. If you are, you should see the Alamo and take the Mission tour and see other historical spots.

The Mexican market is always interesting.

You could go to a Spurs basketball game - always entertaining.

There are some really cool places in the Hill Country - just northeast of SA. The little town of Boerne (pronounced Burn - knee) has lots of little shops and antiques. It is decorated beautifully for Christmas, as are many little towns around SA.

You could go to the river walk for the Christmas water parade - which is the Friday or Saturday (can't remember which day) after Thanksgiving. BUT plan to get there early, stake out your spot, and wait for the parade to start. It starts at dark because it is a lighted parade and the floats are absolutely beautiful. It will take you a lot of tiime to get out also, as there are about 100,000 people down there - it is amazing!!!

If you don't make the parade, go to the river walk at night between Thanksgiving and Christmas and see the lights - simply beautiful!

You can go to the space needle in downtown and eat dinner - best view of the city!!!

I don't know if you wear SAS shoes - I'm old and my feet hurt (my hubby's too!) and so we make regular trips to the SAS FACTORY in south SA, near Division street, where the prices are MUCH cheaper than in the stores - and there are cool antique cars in the store too.

The Root candle factory is on Flores street and you can get GREAT prices on wonderful candles.

It's only a couple of hours to the coast - Corpus Christi or other little coastal towns - lots of things to do down there and the winter is a great time to go - less heat and humidity! The winter is my favorite time to go to the coast - I don't like the heat and humidity of the summer.

It's only 75 miles to Austin - music capital of the world - if you like live music - you can find it here! You can also visit the State Capitol in Austin or go to the LBJ Presidential library on the University of Texas campus.

There is bound to be others in the SA area with more recommendations!
