Just a lady interested in science, nature, and writing about my adventures.
I recently moved to Jacksonville, Florida, after living in Houston, Texas, for just over a year. In that year, the COVID-19 pandemic started and I moved out of the state, so I never got the chance to visit a few places on my bucket list. So, what are those places? In no particular order, here…

I recently found an unexpectedly fun place to picnic or walk around in Seabrook, Texas. It’s called Pine Gully Park and it’s very beautiful! Seabrook is about 25-30 miles south of downtown Houston, located in Galveston Bay. This park is small and primarily for the community only, but I live nearby and wanted to find…

The San Jacinto Monument is basically the Washington Monument of Texas. When I first heard about it, I laughed because I thought, “How petty is Texas that they need their own giant Washington Monument, but a Texas version?” You always hear that everything is bigger in Texas, and it’s totally true… and, Texans have the…

Is there ever a bad day to go to the beach? I guess that it probably depends on the beach, but a winter day in Kemah, Texas, was quite chilly and windy. Not unbearable, but you definitely need a warm jacket. Kemah is located about 34 miles southeast of downtown Houston in Texas. It’s fairly…
