Sharon,

Hi... I'm Ruby and I live in the Rio Grande Valley and South Padre Island is like an hour drive from where I live. I've also been to San Antonio that's like a 4 hour drive from where I live! I've gone to the Alamo, Fiesta Texas & the river walk in San Antonio. Just like carrieglen mentioned the riverwalk is nice especially at night! South Padre Island has a Schlitterbahn which isn't as big as the one in New Braunfels but it's decent. I highly recommend riding the banana at the beach! If you want to know anything else just ask.

Ruby
