San Antonio Zoo: See Animals from Around the World
October 28, 2014 by
The San Antonio Zoo is home to more than 9,000 animals and 750-plus species. Locals say it’s a good way to spend a day out with the whole family. Admission to the San Antonio Zoo is reasonably priced, though some locals recommend getting there soon after it opens. The zoo can get crowded fast, especially in the summer when the kids are out of school. Visitors generally like The San Antonio Zoo’s park-like ambiance, and find that the animals remain fairly active even on hot days.
Highlights of the San Antonio Zoo include the Hixon Bird House, where visitors can escape the heat and mingle with free-flying birds. Kids can enjoy petting the animals at the Goats & Pigs Fun Farm. Strollers, wheelchairs and electric scooters are available for rent to those patrons who need them. The San Antonio Zoo is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Check Out These Fun Facts About Flax Seeds
October 7, 2014 by
Flax seeds have been buzzed about quite a bit lately among healthy eating communities, but most people don’t know much about these tiny superfoods.
Here are a few interesting facts about flax seeds if you're considering adding them to your diet:
- Flax seeds are full of beneficial nutrients. They're loaded with a laundry list of good-for-you nutrients, including healthy fats, fiber, protein, and omega 3s. They’re also full of vitamins, magnesium, potassium, and lignans, which can help to prevent against cancer.
- You may notice that your grocery store carries both golden and brown flax seeds, but both contain the same nutritional benefits. Which type you choose depends on your own taste.
- Like many other foods in Mediterranean diets, flax seeds may help to prevent against many chronic diseases. They may reduce the risk of heart disease, as well as the risk of hormone-dependent cancers.
- There are many ways to eat flax seeds. Whether you add ground flax seeds to your baked goods, sprinkle them on your salads or use them to top your yogurts, you can incorporate them into your diet without much effort.

Stop and Smell the Roses at the San Antonio Botanical Garden
September 23, 2014 by
San Antonio Botanical Garden is a 33-acre park that opened to the public in 1980. The space, which was previously a limestone quarry and waterworks, was perfect for the creation of an idyllic parkland that brings pleasure to residents young and old. In addition to the foliage, there are a number of other attractions in the garden, including the Lucille Halsell Conservatory and the historic Sullivan Carriage House, which was moved brick by brick to the Garden and reassembled.
The Garden hosts a number of special events throughout the year, including a popular Shakespeare in the Park series of performances, plant sales, and a fun family Halloween parade.
