You don't say when the wedding is but if it is anytime after May 15, chances are it's going to be hot, humid and miserable. August. It'll be hot, but it's not that humid here. Nothing like Houston. With a few exceptions of flash floods, it's generally pretty dry here in the summer time. San Antonio is *very* humid. The fact that it's less humid than Houston is not saying anything significant. Rain has nothing to do with it; the predominant air mass over San Antonio comes straight off the Gulf and it is loaded with moisture. Everything is relative. August is perfectly tolerable and it doesn't require sequestering kids in a shopping mall to enjoy the city. The whole Texan idea that one can only survive in August indoors at 60F, where one MUST wear a sweater, just doesn't set well with me. We manage to play outdoor sports all through the summer in San Antonio. IME, it's not *that* humid, not compared to most other places I have lived (or where most of these kids are coming from). |

bubbadog wrote in message ... Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels...they have things to do there for all ages of kids. http://www.schlitterbahn.com/intro-nb1.asp What about Fiesta Texas and Sea World?? My kids have always enjoyed those visits. Those are both out since they can pretty much do those other places - the whole idea is that they're in a new place and want to experience what it has to offer (ie chain restaurants are also out). Some live within easy access to San Diego's Sea World and the rest have visited them frequently. Having spent much time in LA (where the family is based and what is now usually the meeting area) these kids have done all the major amusement parks more than once. |

That's the day our *outdoor* soccer season starts. ;-) |

Rain has nothing to do with it; the predominant air mass over San Antonio comes straight off the Gulf and it is loaded with moisture. Everything is relative. Especially humidity ..... (Thank you, I'll be here all week. Try the veal.) August is perfectly tolerable I lived in San Antonio. I know what the weather is like. San Antonio is a place that can have a high for the day around, 92-95; then the temperature at midnight is still 85-88 degrees. It will drop to maybe 75-80 degrees for a brief time just before dawn. The only way that kind of diurnal temperature pattern occurs is when there is substantial moisture in the air. and it doesn't require sequestering kids in a shopping mall to enjoy the city. The whole Texan idea that one can only survive in August indoors at 60F, where one MUST wear a sweater, just doesn't set well with me. We manage to play outdoor sports all through the summer in San Antonio. I note the use of the word manage. It was just a year or so ago that Arrid (or some other deodorant manufacturer) named San Antonio the "Sweatiest City in the US". IME, it's not *that* humid, not compared to most other places I have lived (or where most of these kids are coming from). If you go past the flat parts between the Apalachians and the Rockies you will find lots of places with cooler and drier summers. --- Bob |
