The Alamo is a must see, but somewhat anti-climatic. My real shock came in seeing Ripley's Believe It or Not right out in front. No movie ever made about the Alamo showed Ripley's was so close by.
I thought the same thing.
It's a shame how they built up all those tourist shops so close to the Alamo.
One poster mentioned Fredricksburg for Bar-B-Que, the town is about about 70 miles northwest of San Antonio up I-10, I had the opportunity to visit a great museum -- The National Museum of the Pacific War; its located at the boarding house(Nimitz Hotel) that Chester Nimitz grew up in; lots of great stuff; he is a link:

they have a hatch from the USS. Arizona; airplanes; they even have a HA 19, it was one of the midget submarines used in the attack on Pearl Harbor. It looks very small on the outside, but it is filled with great stuff.
They also have a re-enactment of a Pacific battle ( we didn't have time to see this). To me it was well worth the stop.

For food, my favorite is Mi Tierra.
For sites besides the normal stuff, check out the Texas Ranger Museum.
The big one is in Waco but they have a smaller one in San Antonio.
Both are well worth seeing but the one in Waco is incredible!
