This&nbsp;is the closest and most convenient airport for both the Meeker Mark (wedding venue) and the hotels we have blocked out for our guests. This about 30 minutes north of Downtown Houston. This should support pretty much every Airline you might want to travel. It will take you 20-30 minutes to drive to the hotels we have blocked out.&nbsp;

George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)

Complimentary breakfast served each day from 7am to 10am Saturdays and Sundays. check in is 4pm, check out is at noon.

Residence Inn by Marriott Houston Tomball

This is south of downtown and a bit more convenient if you plan to spend most of your time in Houston proper. If you prefer Southwest Airlines you will have to fly into this airport. It will take you 50-60 minutes to drive to the hotels we have blocked out.

Staybridge Suites Tomball - Spring Area

Travel

There is lots of great graffiti and wall art around Houston but this is the most concentrated area to see a bunch of it. Keep your eyes open as you drive through the city and you’ll find plenty more.

Graffiti Park

The official visitor center of the Johnson Space Center. This has got to be the most uniquely Houston experience you can have. 

NASA Space Center

Our favorite ramen spot! I introduced Bryan to this place one one of our first dates and he was instantly hooked!&nbsp;Gets crowded in the evenings, but there's some great bars in walking distance to the restaurant and a small cocktail bar inside the restaurant&nbsp;that can hold you over. My favorite menu item&nbsp;is the Tonkatsu Black with the pork bao or the potstickers as appetizers!

JINYA Ramen Bar

This is where Bryan and I had our engagement photos taken. On a nice Spring day, we like to rent bikes and take it along the bike trail or walk along the paths. The skate park is a great area to people watch, and the pavilion above the Cistern is a great place to enjoy the sunshine or part take in the festivities and celebrations that often occur there. If you're looking for a lazy day, take a blanket out to some of the great lawns and let your dog roam around the open grass.

Buffalo Bayou Park

Bryan and I used to be able to walk to this place from our old apartment complex, but have since moved to our current house. This is by far the best place for fresh Italian food. The pizzas are amazing and the pasta is handmade. Bryan loooooves Coltivare's version of a fresh, citrus gin & tonic. In fact--their entire cocktail menu is amazing! Enjoy one--or three--while waiting for your table in their fresh herb garden.&nbsp;It can be quite a wait on a busy night and does not allow reservations, but there's plenty of places to walk to nearby including Taco's-A-Go-Go which has great, affordable margaritas, beers, and pitchers of sangria and mimosas.&nbsp;

Coltivare Pizza & Garden

Another great park! This park is located near my place of work in The Texas Medical Center. In the last 10 years it has undergone a drastic make over! It now boasts the Centennial Gardens, Japanese Gardens, fountains, and endless lawns great for outdoors activities and grilling on a nice Spring day. Bryan and I had one of our most memorable dates here.

Hermann Park 

Houston is fortunate to host&nbsp;4 major league sports teams!&nbsp; I wish the NFL&nbsp;season were still in progress during March, but the good news is you can still catch some basketball! If you are&nbsp;a fan of basketball, the rockets are playing a home game at the Toyota Center&nbsp;against the Denver Nuggets on March 28th.

I'll update with more information when the schedule is released

Watch a Sports Game!

Great hole-in-the-wall for game bratwurst dogs and some of the best burgers in town! They have a great local and craft beer selection too! It's located in a desolate part of the city that's still being developed, but it's worth a quick stop when game dogs are so good! I recommend the boar or the rabbit. They show old films on a projector screen&nbsp;which makes a great retro date night.&nbsp;

Moon Tower Inn

Great beer garden with an expansive&nbsp;outdoor seating area. Wonderful place to enjoy some board games and some quick bites. Bryan and I love to bike here from our house when the weather is nice.&nbsp;

Heights Bier Garten

My favorite place to eat dim sum in Houston. Nothing compared to what I had in Vancouver, but the best you'll find in Houston

Fung's Kitchen

This a great area for dining, shopping ad activities that is only a few miles south of the hotels.
