If you’re anything like me, you love all the fall things! And while I firmly believe Texas is the best place in the world, it does fall a bit flat when it comes to experiencing the season of fall & all the corresponding activities. So while apple picking with a side of apple cider & apple cider donuts aren’t going to happen, Texas does offer some of her own great fall experiences!

One of my favorite things about living in The Woodlands is that it’s within driving distance of all the great things that the Houston area has to offer. I had several friends who had lived near Houston and always talked about how much they loved it and couldn’t wait to move back. Now that I’ve lived here, I totally hear that beacon that calls Houstonians back to their homeland. Check out some of these great Houston attractions & be sure to take advantage of the CityPass for Houston’s top 5 attractions:

Houston summers can force you to hole up in the house due to the heat & humidity making it unsafe & miserable to spend all day outside. One way you can still enjoy being outside without quickly getting overheated is by hitting up one of the awesome water parks within driving distance of The Woodlands!

So grab a swimsuit & sunscreen, because it’s time to go to the water park!

Imagine stepping through a portal into the past, where knights roam the lands, jesters entertain the crowds, and artisans craft their wares with skill and precision. That's the Texas Renaissance Festival in a nutshell. Held annually in Todd Mission, Texas, this immersive event transports visitors to the 16th century, where they can immerse themselves in a world of jousting tournaments, artisan markets, and live entertainment.

So, what’s to do here in The Woodlands, Tx with your girlfriends?! These experiences are for adventure seekers, spa day enthusiasts, and those just wanting a low key weekend.
