Neighbourhood
Our home is on the outskirts of Houston in the Fall Creek community of Humble. (see link below) We have quiet, tree-lined walking paths, a wonderful park, and an outdoor sport complex with workout equipment and a playground. If you are a golfer, we have two fantastic courses, one of which, the tournament course (former home of the Shell Houston Open) is open to the public. We are also quite near Tour 18, a course designed to recreate 18 particularly interesting holes from famous courses in the U.S.. There are several grocery stores within five miles of our home and several restaurants we recommend.. There is a small farmers' market at the park every Sunday. We have bicycles you are welcome to use to explore. If you're interested in nature preserves there are several within 15 minutes of our home.

When you're ready to make the 20 minute drive south into the city, we recommend a stop at Houston's Discovery Green. There is always something fun, interesting, entertaining going on. It's also near the sports parks: Toyota Center (basketball), Minute Maid Park (baseball) and BBVA Compass Stadium, home to our beloved Houston Dynamo (Soccer). We are season ticket holders and have 4 seats for your use if you visit during the season.
We have an interesting Museum District with another great outdoor space, Hermann Park featuring a Japanese-style garden, a reflecting pool, kiddie train, the zoo, and Miller Outdoor Theatre. There's the Houston Museum of Natural Science, our outstanding Children's Museum of Houston, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and the Houston Contemporary Museum. Just over in the very trendy Heights District you'll find the Houston Art Car Museum. It houses absolutely outrageous and over the top real, operable cars that have been outfitted as moving sculptures. The annual art car parade happens every spring and is quite delightful!
40 minutes by car and you'll be at Space Center Houston, a combination museum/activity center where you can learn about the space program from its beginnings. The Space Center is near Kemah, which has a boardwalk along the Houston ship channel with shops, amusement-park rides, outdoor fountains for cooling off, and great restaurants.
You may want to make a day trip to Galveston where you can walk along the beach, visit Moody Gardens, and enjoy a variety of shops and restaurants.
Our new home is quite near the east convergence of two major roadways (Highway 59 and Beltway 8) making it extremely convenient.
Our home is a little over a 3-hour drive from our cabin in Texas Hill Country, Wimberley Texas. The drive between has interesting stops of its own, too.
