    San Antonio is the perfect getaway for our family of four. We love to keep-it-close and enjoy what Texas has to offer. Ice skating outside in Texas? It sounds divine. And, Lq Cantera is a place we’ve hoped to show the kids at some point. Thanks, Austinot!

    My husband and I are newly weds and were married on October 6th. We are native Texans and love the Hill Country. We are living in New Jersey now and very much displaced Texans hoping to return to Texas in a few years. A second honeymoon in the Hill Country and a dose of Texas sunshine would be just what we could use at this time. It would be the most perfect way to share our first holiday season together. Hope ya’ll will pick us and a big Howdy to Texas from us.

    After 30+yrs apart, my High School sweetheart and I found each other once again…we have been together 1 yr now and are finally getting married in August. We have a vacation coming up (3 weeks) and that would make a nice vacation get away. We have been to different parts of Texas on little get aways, but have yet to make it to the Hil Country! This would be amazing to win, and would be another memory for us to add to our memory album.

    Having a Hill Country Holiday would be the icing on our “Coming Home for Christmas” trip. We are headed to Texas from Las Vegas for the holidays to spend time with family and create wonderful memories for our girls! Adding a day and night of Santa, skating, decorations in great accomodations – Perfect!

    My favorite hotel of all the hotels I’ve stayed at. Beds are “heavenly”, pools are AWESOME, staff is helpful and friendly, breakfast buffet YUMMY, views, shopping and six flags …. I could go on and on. Would love to see it during the Christmas Holiday. ☺☺☺☺☺

    I hear these limestone landmarks call
    and beckon me to …Cantera’s walls
    A respite from the old rat race
    It’d bring a smile to my old face
    and give my Texas heart a thrill
    as sun sets on these Texas hills
    To rest in peace at close of day
    So kindly offer me a stay…Thanks –

    You had a Stephanie Zoutenbier post on your wall wanting to have this little trip for her and her “boyfriend”, well her boyfriend is the man that she’s been seeing since last Dec, who has just now become MY ex husband. Someone of this caliber, who’d do another person this way, cheat with a married man and him cheat with her… in my quite frank opinion… does NOT deserve to have such a gift bestowed on them. If this is picked at random… I hope and pray you toss out their names.
