So, This is my first time ever in Houston, and I'm wondering what sights should I see.
Where's the best places to eat and shop, what's there to do???

I'll be here for a week, and I'd like to see I seen something besides the hotel...
So, let me know guys and gals what do you do for fun around here?

Thanks in Advance... Michelle

1. Food
2. Shopping
3. Non-work entertainment

I'm sure you'd get all kinds of great feedback.

I love Seafood, Italian, a Good steak.
Shopping I'm really not big on but I do like to say I checked out the malls.
I like to learn a little bit about the cities I visit,
so where can I go to see some of Houston's history?

Are there any good clubs, bars? I like a little bit of everything honestly...

Wayward, she is from OR. Don't scare her away. When I was much younger, circa 60's, I love the stuff they grow in OR!

Thanks for the suggestions, and the laughs....

There seems to be a ton of seafood places... My kinda place.

And now that I'm in the Galleria area there seems to be a lot more to do.

I am enjoying the sun even if its not that warm.
