Happy Weekend, Houston – February 1-3!
Who else is glad we don’t live in Chicago, right now!? Today’s high of 61 degrees already has me bundled up in layers. And, the best part is our events rarely get cancelled (what? I didn’t hear anyone say hurricane).! We’re coming up on the weekend of February 1-3, 2019 – and there are plenty of places to go and sites to see around H-town!
Here is what is immediately on deck but be sure to check out the complete GHM Calendar to keep up with all the comings and goings around town.
Or, to keep things more low key, scope out some of the ongoing weekly events for Toddlers & Preschoolers or our extensive list for Homeschoolers. Plus, don’t forget it’s time to look into Spring Break Camps for the kiddos.
Have a great weekend!
