I was recently inspired by my friend Stephany to experience our hometown more fully. This project is fun for me on so many levels. I have already greatly enjoyed researching more about Houston, compiling recommendations, and making this list of goals. Checking them off will be awesome too, as they involve a mix of family adventures and new date night ideas. I plan to post monthly about it with a roundup of all the things we did. But for now, here is my list:
Family Adventures
1. Walk the Memorial Park loop and visit the Houston Arboretum
2. Go to a Sugar Land Skeeters game
3. Visit the Waterwall and Williams Tower observation deck
4. Play at Discovery Green
5. Go to Adickes Sculptorworkx to see the giant presidents’ heads
6. Visit the Health Museum
7. Go to the Katy Train Park
8. Visit the Children’s Museum
9. Go to Oil Ranch
10. Attend a Lakewood Church service
11. Visit the Houston Aquarium
12. Attend storytime at Brazos Bookstore
13. Go to Hermann Park and ride the train and pedal boats

Off we go! Have you ever done a project like this? For some reason, turning it into a challenge even makes the experiences themselves more fun. :)
