If you’ve lived in Houston for more than one cycle of the seasons, you know that summers here can make the surface of the sun feel like atemperate climate. Fortunately, there are plenty of cool ways to beat the heat in the Houston area.

Lagoonfest Texas

If you’re unable to go on that dream Caribbean vacation this summer, the next best thing might be Lagoonfest Texas in Texas City. This man-made lagoon, the largest in Texas, encompasses 12 acres and 24 million gallons of water. Naturally, it’s home to several bars and restaurants,as well as paddleboard, kayak, and aqua cycle rentals. The lagoon also sports a floating aqua course for a water-based workout of sorts. And ifyour personal style is more in line with chillaxing beachside, consider renting a cabana or a pavilion for the day to spend your visit with agood book and a tropical drink.

Memorial Day (Día de la Conmemoración de los Caídos) es el feriado federal en los EE.UU. para honrar la memoria del personal militar del país que ha muerto en combate en todas las guerras. El origen de esta celebración proviene de la época de la Guerra Civil estadounidense. Se celebra el último lunes de mayo, por lo que comúnmente se habla del Memorial Day Weekend. En 2023, el feriado cae el lunes, 29 de mayo, pero en realidad las celebraciones comienzan en muchos sitios desde el viernes. Tradicionalmente, hay actos oficiales en los cementerios militares y otros lugares para honrar la memoria de los caídos en combate.
