Houston, We Have a Problem (With Boredom)
Houston, Texas – a city where the air conditioning is as strong as the cowboy boots. If you're stuck here with your friends and wondering what to do besides complaining about the humidity, fear not! We've got you covered.
Unleash Your Inner Astronaut (Without the Space Suit)
Let's start with the obvious: NASA Space Center Houston. Yes, we know, we know. It's touristy. But trust us, it's totally worth it. You'll feel like a real-life Buzz Lightyear without the whole infinity and beyond thing. Plus, there's a pretty cool IMAX theater that makes you feel like you're actually in space. Just don't try to pilot the simulator while under the influence of too much brisket.
Eat Your Way Through Houston
Houston's food scene is like a black hole - you'll get sucked in and never want to leave. Tex-Mex, BBQ, Vietnamese, and everything in between. It's a foodie's paradise. Try a food tour, hit up the food trucks, or just go on a full-blown eating challenge. Just remember, your liver might hate you the next day.
Get Your Adrenaline Pumping
If you're looking for something a bit more active, Houston has you covered. You can go kayaking on Buffalo Bayou, explore the underground tunnels (just watch out for alligators), or even go skydiving. Okay, maybe not skydiving. But there are plenty of other thrilling options.
Culture Vultures Unite
Houston's arts scene is surprisingly vibrant. Check out the Museum of Fine Arts, the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, or the Houston Zoo. If you're feeling really cultured, you can even catch a live performance at the Houston Ballet or the Houston Symphony. Just don't pretend to know anything about classical music. We can spot a fake from a mile away.
Relax and Unwind
Sometimes, the best thing to do is just chill out. Head to Discovery Green for a picnic, rent a bike and explore the city, or simply find a shady spot and people-watch. Remember, even astronauts need downtime.
