Its officially summer here in Houston! You can bet I will be living by the pool, and consistently eating watermelon for the next few months (if this rain ever goes away). There is so much I want to do and see this summer, and after nine straight months of waking up at 6 a.m., homework homework homework, tests, quizzes and an exhausting schedule, I am more than ready to relax and just hang out with friends. Now that I will be moving out of the state, there are still a few places on my bucket list I want to see and/or revisit before my move-in date!
Galveston Beach
The Strand
I will definitely be checking out all of the cute little shops one last time before I move. Yaga's, Jammin, Star Drug Store, Mod Cafe and Board Game Island will be missed, and are a couple you must check out!
Pleasure pier
Believe it or not, I've always been too much of a baby to ride the Iron Shark Roller Coaster...this summer, I'm going to make it happen! Tickets for a full day of rides are $26.99.
Sugar and Cloth Color wall
I've never been, and I want to take some colorful pictures with some friends! Who wants to come with?
Austin graffiti walls
Austin in general is such a cool place, but have you seen these graffiti walls?
ACL
One of the largest Music Festivals in Texas! From Kendrick Lamar, AWOLNATION, to Willie Nelson, to The Chainsmokers, to Mumford and Sons, ACL is sure to have amazing artists for everyone. Tickets are up to $255 for one weekend and $100 for a day pass.
Jacob's Well
Would you take the plunge? The water is crystal clear and did I mention freezing. A place I definitely want to go back to hang out this summer!
Pedernales State Park
I've never been to Pedernales, but the pictures are beautiful!
Frio River Tubing
Tubing on the Frio, where a good time is guaranteed. Hoping to rent a cabin and some tubes this summer!
Hamilton Pool
I've only heard about and seen pictures of the Hamilton pool, but from this picture, you can understand why it's on my bucket list.
Houston outdoor movies
This summer, Houston is putting on many different outdoor movies throughout the area. Schedules have been released online!
Freedom over Houston
Held at Eleanor Tinsley Park on Buffalo Bayou, Freedom over Texas puts on live music and an amazing firework show. This year, Darius Rucker will be performing and is sure to be a fun time this 4th of July!
