Be someone's cure with @BeTheMatch #Sponsored I'v Be someone's cure with @BeTheMatch #Sponsored
I've always wanted to use my platform for good so I have partnered with @BeTheMatch to remind you that if you’re already registered as a bone marrow donor, when they find a match, please remember to say YES.
Over 70% of patients who need a transplant do not have a fully matched donor in their family, they depend on Be The Match. Because of the makeup of the registry, 53% of Asian patients, 71% of African American patients, 52% of Hispanic patients, and 40% of Native American patients won't find a match. We need more diverse donors to join the registry to increase the odds for those patients.
Check out my stories to learn more about @BeTheMatch, how to register and more. #TimeToMatch #texastravel #texasblogger #traveltexas #texastravelblogger #houstonbloggers #houstonblogger #texashillcountry #txhillcountry #visittexas
🥖MEXICO CITY INSPIRED PANADERIA IN SAN ANTONIO 🥖MEXICO CITY INSPIRED PANADERIA IN SAN ANTONIO
This is the one restaurant I visit EVERY single time I’m in town!! @LaPanaderia opened in 2014 & specializes in making handmade bread & pan dulce inspired by Mexico’s Golden Era, which also draws influence from French, Italian, & American breadmaking techniques. Which means yes, the bread is 🤤 & absolutely worth the drive!
🎥In the video:
-Tres Leches Croissant, Vanilla Concha (top was crunchy while the inside was flaky 🤤), Chocolate Croissant, Sugar Donut
-Bacon & Egg Torta on birote with a house salad (my favorite)
-French Toast on Cinnamon Raisins & Pecans roll
-El Buenos Dias
-Iced Lattes
🏆And if you don’t believe me when I say it’s worth the hype, it was named one of the 10 “best artisanal bakeries in North America” by USA Today’s 10 Best.
📍3 locations in San Antonio (La Cantera, Downtown, & Broadway)
🔜Make sure to add it to your San Antonio Bucket List!

LAREDO ROUND UP I remember visiting Laredo when m LAREDO ROUND UP
I remember visiting Laredo when my family and I would drive to Mexico for our family trips. It had been years since I had visited and let me tell you, it has grown SO much. Some of my favorite things to do were strolling through downtown feeling like we went back in time, and the blend of Mexican and American cultures, from the amazing Mexican food to the Spanglish menus. Here are some things you can't miss on your next visit! Thanks for inviting me @visitlaredotx
WHAT TO DO
1️⃣ Step back in time and visit the oldest section of Laredo, The San Agustin Historic District.
2️⃣ Visit Lake Casa Blanca International State Park and see the ruins of Casa Blanca, the original Texas White House.
3️⃣ Go on a coffee tour. Support local coffee shops and after two stamps stop by the Visit Laredo office for a free souvenir. 
4️⃣ Cross the border into Mexico and spend a day in Nuevo Laredo.
5️⃣ Get some shopping done at @the_outlet_shoppes_at_laredo and get a photo at the Laredo mural on the second floor.
6️⃣ Visit the museums like the Republic of the Rio Grande Museum, Laredo Water Museum, Border Heritage Museum, or the TAMIU Planetarium.
WHERE TO EAT
1️⃣ Kaitod Thai - an absolutely stunning Thai restaurant in downtown Laredo
2️⃣ Taquitos Ravi - get the al pastor tacos!
3️⃣ La Reynera Bakery & Restaurant - Known for their biscuits and some of the best breakfast tacos. 
4️⃣ @BolillosCafe- Get the toasted concha!
5️⃣ @vicas_delights_bistro - get the 3 leches pancakes and the chilaquiles with mole.
6️⃣ Golondrina Food Park - Choose from several food trucks, and a bar, with plenty of space to eat indoors or outdoors.
WHERE TO STAY
1️⃣ There are plenty of places to stay in town! Stay at the historic @la_posada_hotel in downtown or choose from several chain hotels around town.

Cool things to do in Houston

5 Cool things to do in Houston

I know you may be itching to get out, so here are 5 cool things to do in Houston while maintaining social distance. Don’t forget to wear your masks!

Things to do in Houston

1) Cloud Column

Location: Glassell School of Art/5101 Montrose Blvd.

Tips: Need to get outside for a bit? Well head to the Cloud Column. Yes, it’s just like Chicago’s Bean but did you know Cloud Column was actually created first? While most things around it may be closed this is perfect to enjoy a quick breath of fresh air while social distancing. Since it is in the museum district you will likely have to pay for parking anywhere in this area.

2) Love Lock Bridge

Location: 500 Alen Pkwy

Tips: Are we in Paris? Stop by and snap a picture on your run or walk at the park. There is metered parking along Allen Pkwy, park close to Eleanor Tinsley Park for faster access to the bridge.

3) Picnic at the park

Location: Eleanor Tinsley Park at the Pavillion

Tips: Head to your local park or head to Eleanor Tinsley Park (pictured) and set up a picnic. Don’t forget the wine and cheese. 🙂 In my opinion, Eleanor Tinsley Park has one of the best views of downtown and is perfect for a picnic!  Again, please set up six feet apart from others and maintain your social distance! Metered parking is available on Allen Parkway, park close to the pavillion for these views.

4) James Turrell's Twilight Epiphany Skyspace

Location: Rice University located adjacent to the Shepherd School of Music

Tips: The Skyspace is free and open to the public. Although the light show at sunrise and sunset is currently closed, we managed to catch this beautiful sunset! There is plenty of paid visitor parking available throughout the campus but the closest is West Lot 2.

5) McGovern Centennial Gardens

Location: 1500 Hermann Dr.

Tips: Did you know the Friendship Pavillion was actually a gift from Taipei? This was cool to find out since James’s parents are from Taiwan!  Don’t forget to stop by the 30 ft garden mount and climb all the way to the top. Dogs are allowed but must be on leashes and picked up after. Park at Herman Park Lot C.
