HWY 123 in Seguin is under construction, but other than that you should be cool! :thumbsup: Have a good time!

Be sure and wear/take some kind of swimming shoes (I don't know what else to call them) to wear while you are standing in line at Schiltterbahn.... otherwise, you will FRY the bottom of your feet..... Have a good time :)

Have fun!!!! Give a wave just after crossing the first over-pass in Iowa Park if you are headed down 287 to I-35. My house is roughly 50 yards to the south of 287 right about where the on ramp joins the expressway.

And say hello to My Parents when you pass by their house about 2 miles West of Iowa Park.

1. Schlitterbahn is awesome. Be sure to get there early (approx 30 minutes before park opening) so that you can get a parking spot and first choice at a table when the park opens. I used to know the secrets on how to avoid the crowds, but the Bahn has surged in popularity since then and I have learned you just have to deal with lines everywhere you go!

2. Things to do in SA other than the Riverwalk and the Alamo: go see the other missions, take in a minor league baseball game, if you aren't waterparked out go to Splashtown, and seriously, I can't think of too much else. Anyone else have any ideas?

3. Seguin is very easy to navigate. Every street basically runs N/S or E/W. Most of the restaurants seem to be along Highway 123, which is currently a construction zone, but there are a few restaurants in other parts of the town as well. Ask the front desk for some good local choices.

The best western in seguin is really nice. as they said mainly everything is on hwy 123 and Court ST which is their main drag. Las Palmas is a good place to eat.. i think that was the name of it.. Pretty much all the mexican resturaunts are nice. Have fun!!

Fiesta Texas or Sea World are two choices. The SA museum of art and the Witte Museum are free on Tuesdays. Go to both if you have a chance.:)
