San Antonio: I went there it was really fun. You could go to this haunted house thing. It's seriously fun! And you could go to sea world, the river walk, the alamo. Go to sea world especially it's really fun there are tons of rides> Plus if you go to the river walk go to the mall too it's huge! and have tons of stuff you can buy.

Houston: There's many places there are tons of amusment parks.

I think there's also shlitterbahn i'm not sure how to spell it so yeah x.x

Plus there's farms around you can rent a horse and go riding. And there's the Houston Zoo.

There's also this science museum that shows lots of cool things. i remember i went there for a field trip and we end up seeing how chocolate are made and we got to see awesome things.

Also there's Moody Garden. This is sorta boring but idk you could try going there some say it's fun also they have this 4D movie. You can see, touch, smell, and hear the movie. I end up watching this ocean movie and kinda got sick of the sea smell. lol but yeah it's sorta fun
