The ultimate guide for fun, frolic and wine in and around Fredericksburg, pack your bags There are so many great places in Texas to stop for a long weekend, an overnight visit, or an extended stay. Too many to count, really. But Fredericksburg is one of those towns that is a must-visit on any Texans list of […]
Last month I had one of the coolest experiences since I started this journey as a sports and travel writer – I was recruited for the Marines! Well, sort of. They invited me along with a few other members of the media and some top educators from Houston to head to San Diego to experience what […]
One of my favorite new Houston restaurants is The Union Kitchen (note: I’ve only been to the Bellaire location). I’m going to be honest – I didn’t have super high hopes for this place, and I can’t even figure out why. Maybe somewhere in an alternate universe I had a bad meal in a different […]

In honor of his […]
