Enjoy a down-home, Texas summer! Here's how...

Turn down the stress volume and discover the world around you. Re-acquaint yourself and your family with all the adventures and pleasures of Texas.

Be a tourist in your own hometown.

Texas is filled with treasures. Kick up your heels at a theme park, like Sea World and Six Flags. There’s something for the whole family. Don’t forget you can pick up tickets while you shop at your H-E-B. Then, there are destinations filled with history. In San Antonio, be sure to visit The Alamo. Explore the beautiful, scenic Hill Country and stop in the historic, quaint town of Fredericksburg. Take time to enjoy its many charms. Be sure to check out the wineries in the area. Even the kids will find them fascinating.

Take off for the water!

Load up your cooler and surfin’ stuff and take off to one of the many beautiful Texas beaches for a fun-filled week or weekend. Even an overnight trip can be a great get-away. Head for Corpus Christi or Port Aransas. Squish sand between your toes. Mix up your usual summertime routine with sand, surf and sunsets. A good time doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. Stop in at your H-E-B beach headquarters in Corpus Christi located in Flour Bluff just off South Padre Island Drive.
