Please help me pull this vacation off...?

Question

I am planning our first vacation as a family. we just got married 5 months ago and have a 3 year old. money is funny and change is strange so we are looking for somewhere we can drive in the state of Texas with maybe a beach or other activities my 3 year old can enjoy. Some of my thoughts were South Padre Isand, Corpus, but I dont know what we can do there. We need somwhere to go by Aug 11. Please help

Answer 1

San Antonio would be great.  Sea World would be good for the little one, and the River Walk is a great place to hang out and eat some good food.

Answer 2

Why Texas? You want to save money but with gas prices it will probably be about the same as flying somewhere. If your looking at about a grand total you can take a cruise that leaves out of Texas and goes around the Caribbean. If its something cheaper goes to southwest.com and check their specials and look into going somewhere fun. I have never been to Texas but to me that does not sound  like a fun vacation. Good Luck!
