Experience the art of glass as the master craftsmen of Wimberley Glassworks demonstrate the ancient techniques of glass blowing. From simple origins in Syria more than 2,000 years ago, glass blowing has been elevated into an art form of indescribable beauty. Enjoy the crafting of an exclusive piece as glass artist Tim deJong takes us through the process. Then, shop the gallery for that unique piece you can't resist!

After lunch on your own, we're off to visit the Commemorative Air Force Museum with its vintage aircraft exhibit. A navigator training school during WWII, the San Marcos Army Airfield now houses a fantastic collection of historic aircraft and aviation memorabilia. Exhibits include 14 landmark aircraft, including a P-39 Airacobra pursuit plane and part of the B-25 seat back of Lt. Col. Jimmie Doolittle, the legendary pilot who led America's first attack on the Japanese mainland.

Ticket includes transportation and tour fees. Maximum tickets: 40
