Brenda C. of San Antonio, Texas, is all set to have a grand summer season since winning the $1,000 Cash Prize on May 18, 2025! That is definitely super exciting news to see in your email and now that you have all that prize money, you may be thinking it’s time for a family vacation!
You could pack up the car and head down to Corpus Christi with your family to enjoy an authentic beach vacation like no other! You could book a hotel right on the beach so when you step out your door in the morning the first thing your feet touch is the while silky sand!
Seashell Village Resort is one option for a surfside stay you and your family will enjoy to the fullest! Once you get settled into your room, whether you choose the main hotel or one of the guest cottages, you’ll have access to two incredible swimming pools, miles of sandy beaches, shaded cabanas, and tons of fun things to do!
You might head down to the Texas Sealife Center, which is a very special place run by volunteers who are dedicated to preserving the sea creatures like turtles that inhabit the coastal waters of the Gulf as well as other animals such as hawks, owls, sea gulls and all the animals that make this area their home. You’ll all have the opportunity to walk the nature trail with an education ambassador that lives on the property, so they know first hand the care and commitment it takes to run such an incredible animal sanctuary, rehabilitate injured and sick animals and return them to the wild.
That will certainly give everyone something to think about and lots to talk about while you head somewhere great to have lunch afterwards. You might drive over to Snoppy’s Pier, which is an awesome family friendly eatery where you can get a table with a front row seat to watch the dolphins playing in the water! They certainly are intelligent creatures that are so fun to watch and amazing to see up close!
On the way back towards the hotel, you can visit Mustang Island, which is an expansive state park where you can enjoy playing on the beach, building a sand castle, go swimming, kayaking and even fishing off the pier. You can bring your binoculars to go bird watching to spot all kinds of winged creatures that inhabit the area, and even make a game for the kids to see how many different birds they can identify. That could also be a great subject for a school report when the kids head back to classes in the fall.
Of course, this is just an idea of one way we imagine you might enjoy your winnings having the time of your lives on a fun filled family adventure. There are many other ways having a cool grand can come in handy and you might decide to go in another completely different direction and decide to revamp your backyard patio and garden to get it ready for summertime entertaining. Or perhaps you need to upgrade your kitchen stove or refrigerator and having prize money means you can head to the store to suss out your options. There are so many ways to enjoy having a thousand dollars at your disposal and we hope whatever you decide to spend it on; you fully enjoy it to the max!
