Ah Monday, you always coming rolling around again, just to make your presence known. Well to deal with the Monday blues, my series, From My Hometown to Yours is back in full force. I have appreciated everyone who has written for this series and for all the upcoming awesome bloggers who are participating. 


Today I have Allison of Moments Like This showing us her hometown of Houston. Allison is still a newlywed and always so sweet. So grab your cowgirl boots, your hat and let's have Allison talk about Houston!

Hello Everyone!! My name is Allison and I blog over at Moments Like This. I have followed Meg’s blog for a while now and I love this series that she is doing. My husband and I love to travel so learning about everyone’s hometown is awesome!! My husband and I live in the Dallas area now but are both originally from Houston. I really consider both these cities home but I will show you around Houston.
Houston is where I was born in raised. It will always have a special place in my heart because I spent the first 17 years of my life here! I’m sure there are a lot of readers from Houston so let me know if I leave out any of the important parts! The first picture I want to show is the Houston skyline.


Near downtown is one of my favorite places to shop! I would definitely take anyone that visits Houston to the Galleria. The mall has it’s own hotel and you definitely need more than a day to see it all!

Another place near downtown is the very famous water wall. A lot of couples get engaged at the water wall. My husband and I actually took our prom pictures in front of the water wall but unfortunately I cannot find any pictures on my computer!


One of my best memories growing up as a child was the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. My family had season tickets to the rodeo and I have probably been over 100 times. This is definitely a much see during the Spring time. Some of my favorite shows I went to were Clay Walker, Reba McEntire, and Brooks & Dunn. It is awesome! The picture below is taken in Reliant Stadium. It used to be held at the Astrodome but that is now an after party dance hall during rodeo time.


The last place I am going to talk about it the Kemah boardwalk. It is not in the heart of Houston like most of the other places I have talked about but it is a lot of fun!!  Kemah has a variety of restaurants and different activities to do. My favorite part is the ferris wheel.

There’s definitely a lot more to Houston than what I posted about but these are some of the special places to me! Meg, thank you so much for letting me take over your blog for the day! I would love for you to come visit and let me show you around!!


Texas is one state I am dying to visit and hope to soon. Thank you Allison for talking about Houston!
