RARE SIGHT: Tonight we will have a rare full moon - the last time this will happen until 2049! 🌕

Yum! It’s chili harvest time.

When you’re hibernating for the cold winter months, you’ll want to keep your tummy nice and warm with this delicious New Mexican version of Mac & Cheese. This isn’t your average recipe, so don’t expect your average flavor! You won’t be disappointed. Ingredients needed: 6 cups whole milk (t...

PRO TIP: Ride the Trolley. Save time, save gas, and save your sanity if looking for parking! Leaves from Moody Gardens, which is nearby the condo. Plenty of free parking at Moody Gardens too.
