Three fun, affordable destinations

Looking for a fun trip that is affordable? Here are some awesome destinations right here in the USA!

San Antonio, Texas, is home to the Alamo and several other famous missions that are part of the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. San Antonio is also home to the famous River Walk or Paseo del Rio as the locals say. The River Walk is San Antonio’s most visited attraction and is located along the banks of the San Antonio River through the center of the city and connects major attractions like Brackenridge Park and the San Antonio Museum of Art. There are rows of fabulous restaurants and sidewalk cafes with street performers and Mariachi music. During January and February, the weather is between 65 and 70 degrees – great for walking and enjoying the sites while escaping the cold and snow up North.

Portland, Oregon, is calling all Foodies! Portland is becoming a must-visit in the Pacific Northwest. It's a cultural Mecca with the most pedestrian-friendly streets in the country, lined with food carts and some of the most affordable and diverse street food to be found anywhere. Enjoy locally roasted coffee or visit one of the many upstart breweries. There is a myriad of art galleries through which to stroll and, if you're in the mood, get out and conquer the trails for hiking or biking. This progressive and hip city truly has it all!

Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, is a family place that is historical, educational, and fun! Walk with the likes of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington (costumed actors who roam the city). Absorb the feel of what it was like to live when our founding fathers were alive. Several of the attractions have some hefty admission fees, but the trick to making it affordable is to purchase the multi-day combo pack. You can explore all the Colonial Williamsburg sites and trade shops as well as two art museums with unlimited shuttle service around the city for $50 for adults and $25 for youth.
