🇲🇽LET’S CELEBRATE HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH 🇲🇽LET’S CELEBRATE HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH WITH @drinkpicadas
One thing I don’t talk about is that I often travel solo. On my recent road trip, I decided to bring along my parents for a well-deserved getaway to one of my favorite places in Texas, San Antonio!
I introduced them to one of my favorite Hispanic-owned businesses @drinkpicadas, they are Mexican-made hard aguas frescas. My dad enjoyed the mango flavor and my mom loved the guava flavor and said it was so good she didn’t even know it had alcohol in it! 
I treated them to a nice family dinner, and introduced my mom to Mezcal, that watermelon cocktail was delicious! I convinced my dad to share the Tomahawk with me even though he said it was too much. Spoiler alert, not one piece was left.
And lastly, we made sure to spend some time relaxing by the pool, the hot tub, and the lazy river! Safe to say I had an amazing getaway with my parents and I can’t wait to bring them along on my next adventure! Cheers to spending time with family!
Thanks to Picadas for sponsoring this post!

This HAS to be one of the coolest bars I’ve ever been to and I can totally see why it made the list of @50bestbars in North America. PS: I highly recommend making reservations.
Take a trip back in time through the bayous of Louisiana in a 36 seat Presidential Pullman-inspired train car for a 90 minute immersive experience. Start off with complimentary bubbles, choose from amazing award winning cocktails, then end the trip with an alcohol infused chocolate treat! 
Highly recommend the clarified milk punch which comes in a pink teacup, Blame the Dutch which tastes like Thai food, and lipstick & earrings.

I was SO excited to finally try the trompito and I have to say it was 100% worth the drive to The Woodlands! We also tried the chilaquiles, flautas, torta ahogada, and carne en su jugo. And for dessert you have to get the churro filled with cajeta, trust me!🤤 Everything was amazing and I already can’t wait to visit again!

Murals in Downtown Houston

August 16, 2020      Leave a Comment

Downtown Greenstreet Houston

Greenstreet Hou

Location: 1201 Fannin/Greenstreet Houston

Artist: Unknown

Tips: It seems to be that all of the murals in downtown Houston are colorful! This one is a newer mural and it is located at the Greenstreet Shopping Center between Main and Fannin.

The shopping center has a parking garage available (pay by the hour) or there is metered parking nearby (free after 6pm). We went around 6pm, parked on Polk St and absolutely no one was there! 

Houston Angel Wings

#BeaHoustonAngel

Location: 813 McKee St.

Artist: PeterHealyPaintings

Tips: This mural was done in honor of foster families and youth across Houston. To learn more about the Houston Angels Nonprofit click here.

Move over LA, Angel wings have arrived in Houston! The mural is located on a side street in Downtown and street parking is available. It was completely empty when we stopped by so we were able to park on the street and take a quick picture. 

Houston Produce Row

Produce Row

Location: 100 Main St.

Artist: Dual_streets

Tips: This mural was made to honor the location of Houston’s first farmers market back in the 1870s. This area was known as Produce Row and as such veggies and fruits were added to the mural along various bright colors.

The mural is located on the corner of Main and Commerce. There is metered parking available nearby.

Downtown Houston Murals

Houston

Location: 1515 Austin St./Camden Downtown Apartments

Artist: Gonzo247

Tips: It’s awesome how you can see this mural from streets away! Would be more awesome if you had a drone. Anyone know someone who lives here so we can get a close up?

We parked in the lot across the street and took a quick picture. The lot was empty around 7pm. We obviously had to get creative to get the whole mural but I would love to see what you guys come up with! Tag me in your picture so I can see!

Skydance Houston Mural

Houston's Largest Mural: Skydance

Location: 1401 Louisiana St.

Artist: C. Finley

Tips: So this is officially Houston’s Largest Mural! It showcases three Houston Ballet dancers and was done to celebrate Houston’s art and culture.

The mural is located on a parking lot, so you can park there or there is metered parking available nearby. It was actually very hard to photograph and get the full mural in the shot so I had to use my friends wide-eye lens.
