San Antonio

Another road trip worthy destination for a fun Labor Day weekend is San Antonio’s River Walk. Visit the Alamo for a walk through Texas history, and pop into museums along the way that are filled with hidden gems, like a recreation of Bonnie and Clyde’s car. 

Austin

For a more relaxing Labor Day weekend option in Austin, check out the Lake Austin Spa Resort. Or you can save a buck by enjoying the day at Lake Lady Bird and going for a massage at a spa in South Congress, where you’ll find plenty of shops, restaurants, and more options for passing the time.
