Working @txstateaquarium in Member Services many moons ago is what inspired my love for nonprofits. I got to see the ins and outs of the care was provided to these animals 🦦 , the educational awareness that was given to us as consumers 📖 and the ongoing effort to make the aquarium something that everyone could love. 💕
On this visit to corpus, we got to revisit the aquarium after its most recent updates and we’re just in awe of how immersive it was. 🐠
From touching crabs 🦀 and starfish to stingray, sharks 🦈 and even jellyfish! 🪼 Theres even have a splash park! They also have sensory inclusion kits offered for those who have sensory processing needs 💗
🦩My niece was excited, scared, wide eyed. All the things a seven-year-old would be when seeing so many things that you normally wouldn’t in your daily life all at once!
✨Even though we went on a Saturday and it was steadily busy, we were able to see everything comfortably. There was no pushing or shoving, and everyone was patient and taking turns to view each exhibit.
When I return, I’ll look into snorkeling 🤿 with the sharks 🦈 since I’ve already had the pleasure of a dolphin 🐬 experience when it was offered.

When the girls group finally gets out of the group chat and gets to sit down for dinner.
@gallery41cc was the perfect place to grab drinks, dinner and catch up.
A beautiful restaurant attached to the @artcentercc. It had a welcoming vibe, indoor and outdoor seating options, live music on certain days and great service.
The food was beautifully presented, and equally as good!
Pictured in order are:
Pineapple jalapeño margarita
Blackened golf drum over whipped mashed potatoes
Bullet bourbon Atlantic salmon over veggies,

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting @adelphoscoffeeroasters today after avidly following @localtxfoodie posts about their wonderfully curated coffee selections.
Whenever I’m back in my hometown after relocating to the Austin area, I’m always on the lookout for great coffee. Imagine my delight when I discovered from the owner, Keenan, that they originally hailed from ATX!
The coffee was excellent, and the experience was enhanced by the shaded seating, light food options, and kid-friendly drinks. Keenan’s warm welcome and outstanding service made the visit even more enjoyable.
If you get the chance, definitely check them out!

☕️ @malonecoffee a cozy coffey shop that has something for everyone. The smell of roasting coffee greats you as you walk in along with their the lovely display of baked goods.
I will admit it also makes me happy that they are @thefikatable home base. I love their cardamom buns. ❤️
🧩I also loved that they are super kid friendly. With a big chalk wall, giant connect 4, table top games and even an arcade game!
I was also in awe of the art that they had hanging on their walls that was done by artist @codybanksartist . 🎨
All in all, I loved the coffee, atmosphere and friendly service. ✌🏼

North of Austin, there’s a culinary gem that steals the spotlight with its exceptional pancit and lumpia – a Filipino feast that transcends expectations. Nestled in a cozy corner, this hidden treasure is renowned for crafting these dishes with an authentic touch that resonates with the true flavors of the Philippines.
The pancit, a stir-fried noodle dish, is a masterpiece of delicate balance and vibrant taste. Every strand of noodle is meticulously coated in a savory blend of soy sauce, garlic, and the perfect medley of vegetables and meats. The result is a harmonious symphony of textures and flavors that transport diners to the bustling street markets of Manila.
Accompanying this delight is the lumpia, an embodiment of crispiness and succulence. Each spring roll is a work of art, meticulously hand-rolled to perfection. Filled with a savory mixture of ground meat, vegetables, and secret spices, these lumpia achieve a golden, crispy exterior that shatters with each bite, revealing an explosion of flavors within.
What sets this establishment apart is its commitment to authenticity. The chefs, masters of their craft, infuse each dish with traditional Filipino techniques and the warmth of homemade goodness. It’s not just a meal; it’s a journey to the heart of Filipino culinary heritage.
It’s a culinary adventure where pancit and lumpia become ambassadors of Filipino culture, inviting everyone to savor the essence of the Philippines right in the heart of Texas.

🥯 Finally got my hands on an asiago bagel.
I’ve been dreaming about this cheesy beauty for a while now and it was worth the wait! 💗

if you’ve read this far and you’re wondering about my finger.. it’s not a bad hot cheeto habit 🤣 it’s hair dye.
🚨 Hidden Gem
Saigon 512 is located in a small shopping center in Round Rock, Tx and has some of the BEST Vietnamese/Chinese cuisine I have had in a while. 🪨
🍽️ With a warm atmosphere and staff that treated us like old friends, we were a bit overwhelmed with our food options.
We knew we wanted some pho 🍜, some sort of noodles and of course something simple for the minion. Our waiter was patient and very informative as he went through suggestions for us.
🤌🏼 The Phos broth was flavorful and hearty, the birds nest was the size of a large plate and definitely enough to share (which we did). The spring rolls had this crunch strip running through them and the dipping sauces were icing on the cake. The fried rice was not too greasy and we were suggested a side of duck on top of a bed of shredded cabbage. It was almost like a salad and I didn’t catch the name, but it was a surprising suggestion that we weren’t mad about. One thing i’ll say above all this is that all the vegetables used tasted so fresh and crunchy. Not a single thing was soggy. 🥬
All in all I definitely suggest stopping by and picking out a favorite or try something new!
What we got:
Goi Cuon: pork spring rolls
Pho: Served with bean sprouts, basil, cilantro, jalapenos, mushrooms
Mi Xao Don (birds nest) : Chinese broccoli, carrots, cabbage, onion, broccoli & mushrooms served over crispy noodles in a brown sauce.
Sliced duck on a bed of cabbage with a vinaigrette and an orange dipping sauce.
Fried Rice w/Chicken

🚨 Best Mexican Restaurant in the ATX, Pflugerville, Round Rock area🚨
❤️Red or 💚green enchiladas, what’s your favorite?
Stoped back at El Rincón to see if the quality of their food extended to their other menu items.
And 👏🏼 let 👏🏼 me 👏🏼 tell 👏🏼 you 👏🏼
It sure does! I prefer green over red because it has a bit of spice and tanginess, but the red was darn good as well.
🍫Also pictured was their abuelita hot chocolate which was perfectly sweet and just warmed the soul. 💕
Next time we visit we’re trying the pozole and menudo! Can’t wait.

🍔 There is nothing better than taking that first bite into a juicy, perfectly flavored hamburger.
I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying @amburfire burgers since inception, and their quality has just stayed consistently great. 🔥
🍖 They have a variety of burgers, bbq, sweets, and sides to chose from, but I enjoy the simpler things when it comes to my comfort foods.
This 1/2 pound Angus burger is layered with pickles, ketchup, cheese, mayo and smashed between a brioche bun that is perfectly toasted with a side of crispy Cajun fries.🍟
🎲 You can order to go, pick up or hang out at their covered patio area that has table top games to entertain you and the fam. It’s even kept warm during the chilly months.
Stop by, hang out & don’t forget to support local small businesses! ✌🏼

🥧 We came for the food & stayed for the pies!
Great service, cute dining atmosphere and pies to die for! @texancafeandpieshop
What we ate:
Fried Pickels: dill and so good
Boudin Eggrolls: highly recommend
Chicken Cesar Salad: big enough for two
Chicken Strips w/Mac N Cheese
Oreo Cookie Pie: fluffy, not too sweet, great flavor
Sugar Free Pistachio Pie: for this being sugar free this tasted great! no weird aftertaste and the same quality as the Oreo.

Had a great weekend in Corpus catching up with friends and family.
Got to stop by @harrisonslandingcc to grab a bite to eat with friends and check out their cute gift shop.
Their service was really great, the birds diving for your food overhead was an .. experience and the weather was nice enough to enjoy the downtown skyline outside.
We had:
Calamari: I wasn’t a fan due to it being a bit bland in flavor,but the sauce they had to accompany it was good.
Lobster Bisque: was not
too fishy in taste which I liked.
Crazy Cajun: This was the best part of the meal. The blackened redfish was flakey and topped shrimp and a creole sauce that reminded me of poco de gallo.

I’m sucker for a flakey pastry. Especially an almond pain au chocolate on a cloudy day that threatens rain with a warm cup of coffee. ☕️
🥖 Greeted by the smells of roasted coffee and fresh bread as you walk in. Easy Tiger is one my favorite places to just sit and relax.
