Things To Do
Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park
This is the location for our first date. We had a nice picnic dinner with wine
Chinatown
We love the food here in Houston! Houston boasts a large and vibrant Asian community, with the second-largest Indochinese population in the United States, behind Los Angeles. The neighborhood includes six square miles of shopping, eating and attractions.
Houston Museum District
The Museum District is Houston’s cultural heart, with the association of 19 museums, galleries, cultural centers and community organizations that is dedicated to promoting art, science, history and culture. Plenty of museums within walking distance! We went to the Cockrell Butterfly Center on our 3rd date! Beautiful butterflies and plants! We also went to Burke Baker Planetarium, located in the Houston Museum of Natural Science to see the Dark Side of the Moon.
Hermann Park
This is Lisa’s favorite park to run and explore in Houston. This urban park spans 445 acres which includes the Japanese Gardens, McGovern Centennial Gardens and the Cherie Flores Garden Pavilion, Miller Outdoor Theatre, golf course, Houston Zoo, and McGovern Lake. *Tip: Best place to park is in Lot C
Space Center Houston
We are total nerds! We went here for our 5th date. Lisa loves hearing Chris explain mechanical engineering marvels. Chris is so smart
Houston Murals
There are about 750 murals and art installations throughout the Greater Houston area.
Texas Renaissance Festival
During this time of year, there is an annual Renaissance northwest of Houston. It is the nation’s largest Renaissance theme park which spans 55 acres of land. Each of the nine weekends of the festival take on a different theme, influencing the performances, costumes, food, drink, art, shops, contests, and games throughout the festival grounds.
