Need to take the family on a vacation, but don't want to break the bank? Here are some less expensive ideas than traveling abroad or going to Disney World.

 

San Antonio, Texas

If the family wants something a bit more urban, but still offers things to do outside, San Antonio could be a top option.

One of the most historic monuments in United States history, The Alamo, is located here for those that want a great lesson.

There are wonderful amusement parks such as Sea World, Six Flags and the Aquatica San Antonio water park.

The San Antonio River Walk also offers some great views and a riverboat cruise around the city.

Texas barbecue and Tex-Mex cuisine are two of the most iconic food options in the country, both are offered at the top level in this city.
