Creator's Key Takeaways

we always recommend coming to your Port City a day early and the reason for that is just about anything can happen if you're trying to get there the same day

meow wolf is an interactive Art Exhibit that is in a few different cities around the United States

this event is essentially a dazzling Chinese Lantern Festival with Larger than Life installations showcasing the beauty of Nature

overall for our food I thought it was really really good

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Galveston would be considered our home cruise port as we live a few hours away in Texas. So we end up taking cruises out of Galveston pretty regularly. In this video we go over what we did on our day before our cruise out of Galveston when we stayed right up the road in a Hotel near Hobby Airport in Houston, Texas Featured in this video are Meow Wolf Houston, Radiant Nature at the Houston Botanic Gardens, Spanky's Pizza and Bar, The Original Kolache Shoppe, and the Marriott Houston South at the Hobby Airport. We love to find unique and interesting things to do in the port cities we visit before and after our cruises. Exploring these cities before our cruise allows us to extend our vacation and makes arriving a day early even more worth it. So join us as we step into the Surreal World of Meow Wolf and Radio Tave, along with trying to not freeze while we explore the dazzling Chinese Laterns that are part of Radiant Nature at the Houston Botanic Gardens, and as we seek out local food that is sure to impress.
