Houston, TX
What can we say? Houston is the 4th largest city in the country and offers something for everyone. Houston has FANTASTIC restaurants , great breweries (it is TX after all), theaters, museums, parks, and sports teams galore! If you would like recommendations for food/drink, we are happy to share some of our favorites! Space Center Houston is located south of Houston and is connected to NASA. We highly recommend this museum and taking one of the tram tours! We love the Saint Arnold's brewery downtown (this is where we first met). Hermann Park is home to an outdoor amphitheater, the Houston Zoo, gardens, and more. Just down the street is the Museum of Natural Science, another favorite of ours, which is a nice escape if the weather takes a turn. For art lovers, the Menil collection and Rothko Chapel in the Montrose neighborhood of Houston are recommended. Stop at a nearby coffee shop (there are tons in Montrose) to get caffeinated as needed. For more recommendations just ask!
