I spent a morning in The Heights of Houston with my sweet Aunt Carla in the early summer and she drove me over to a new art installation in town.  I knew as soon as I saw the first sculpture that this was something I had to bring the hooligans to see before it was taken down.  The Heights have allowed local artists to display enormous sculptures on the walking path that runs down Heights Boulevard, (not to mention, that many of the homes along the street are pieces of historic art in their own right too).  We went to visit my aunt again recently and with all three hooligans in tow we made our pilgrimage, parking along the street for free at each stop so we could snap a cute pic with our favorites.  It would be totes easy to turn it into a great exercise excursion and walk down the 11 or so blocks to see each sculpture, but again…hooligans; we drove.  The installation will be on display thru NOVEMBER 4TH, so you only have a few more days to enjoy it.

{SIDENOTE:  If you have more time and kids that aren't trying to play chicken with the cars speeding down the boulevard then take time to eat at one of the yummy cafes in The Heights.  There are too many to name a "best" and some aren't as kid friendly (depending on if you have kids with you that day) as others, but truly your options are limitless.}
