Cajun Greek
2226 61st StIf you love seafood, this is the place to go.
The locals favorite one stop for all.
It’s a chill, and family friendly restaurant, but it also has fun for the adults, with four different bars all serving something different. From the popular frozen margaritas, to a sweet piña colada, to draft beer and so much more! You have to try this place. Best restaurant on the island, you won’t want to miss out.
My favorite is the Ralph Burger, and the Spot sampler is amazing as well.

So many great things to see and do at Moody Gardens.
Palm Beach is the water attraction, fun for all ages. Lazy river, splash pad for the little ones, a couple of slides for the older kids, and a wave Pool.
The aquarium is super neat, and there is so much to see. You’ll get to touch stingray if the exhibit is open. There is also 3D films, and a 4D film.
The rainforest is one of my favorites. So many plants, animals, and butterflies. You’ll feel the humidity and learn so much.
