Answer 5

Couple suggestions.

Take him to San Antonio, and do the "River Walk". They have boats there that you sit in "Wheel-chair" friendly.  Takes you around a beautiful tour of fun places there.

While there, see the Alamo, and go inside the place where Texans made their "last stand" against Santa Anna's Army.

Or go to the Ozarks in Missouri this fall, it's supposed to be so beautiful there when the leaves change colors.  While there, stop in Branson and see a "show",there are several good ones to choose from.

If you can go farther, nothing beats the view of the Grand Canyon, and you can stop in Las Vega while out that way, and enjoy wonderful light shows at night.

Hope you both have fun.
