Free Places to go/ Things to do in your hometown?
Hi all, this is a little detour from my regular entries. I live in an area that is great and has lots of free things or inexpensive things to do around town. If you would be so kind, I am trying to compile a list of free things to do or interesting places to go around the states and the world. Will you guys help me out with this? If you wouldn't mind, will you please send me your favorite places to visit in your area that are either free or inexpensive? If you have friends who are also homeschoolers, please invite them to send me info also. Let's see if we can hit every state at least once, thanks!

I live in San Antonio, Texas. A favorite place to visit for free is the San Antonio Riverwalk. It's beautiful during this time of the year. Along the Riverwalk there are many kinds of shops to look around in - craft, boutique, and art shops. There's usually music playing from a store or outside restaurant, which makes the walk nicer. And there are lots of friendly people with big smiles to talk to!

Walterboro Air Field - the actual airfield where the Tuskgee Airman learned to fly.

There is also a walking path connecting the King site to the Jimmy Carter site.
