Organizer of Hue Mural Fest, Gonzo247
#HueMuralFest is in its second year painting the streets of EaDo, Houston. There are so many great photo opportunities with all of the new murals. If you find more that aren't listed here, feel free to leave a comment below because I'd love to see more!
#HueMuralFest goes on for the next week!
Houston is packed with so many opportunities for fun. You can check out my Houston Bucket List guide for more fun things to do around Houston, but here is a round up of some of my favorite free things in the city.
Do you have ideas for other free things to do in Houston? Let me know in the comments below!
The smell of sweet victory looms over Houston.
From the Super Bowl in January, to Harvey in September, there's no better way to cap off the year than by having our home town Houston Astros win the World Series over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The City of Houston was awarded the day off (literally, the Mayor cancelled public school) and a little over 1 million people gathered downtown to cheer on the Astros players as they paraded through downtown on firetrucks.
Congrats to the Houston Astros! #HoustonStrong
It wasn't until I met an out-of-towner that I realized the importance of having a bucket list. My friend just moved to Houston from another state and every time someone would say, "you better check out ____", she'd add it to her bucket list.
I was able to review the bucket list and was reminded not only of places I have been, but haven't been to in over a decade. There are hidden gems hidden all over the city, and sometimes right in our backyard.
Use this list as starters to create your own bucket list or even work on it with your spouse or friend so you can knock stuff off together. Whenever you have free time in your weekend, reference this bucket list and cross something new off the list!
Have other bucket list ideas for Houston? Let me know them in the comments.
The Museum of Fine Arts invited me and other Digital Ambassadors to preview the new Oscar de la Renta Exhibit. It was filled with beautiful dresses worn by (ladies of Houston) Lynn Wyatt, Carolyn Farb, and Barbara Bush. Each dress was paired with a painting from the country that inspired Oscar de la Renta.

The exhibit goes through January 28, 2018 and you can learn more here.
Attached is a growing list of murals I've found around Houston.

I visited the new art exhibit at The Museum of Fine Arts: Kusama: At the End of the Universe. The museum gets Digital Ambassadors together for a sneak peak of the exhibit so we can blog about it and share it. If you can't tell from these photos, it's definitely worth checking out.

Super Bowl 51 came through Houston and I think the city did such a great job playing host. Downtown launched 7 new restaurants all within walking distance from Discovery Green, several hotels opened, and the game was incredible.
On the flip side, traffic has been insane! Especially living near all of the mayhem downtown, I'm excited we had such a great week celebrating, and also happy it's over!
