Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
Nothing signifies the start of summer quite like champagne and orange juice. At Harrison’s Landing, a waterfront restaurant that doubles as a boat tour agency, you can embark on a Sunday morning mimosa cruise across the Corpus Christi Bay. Can you imagine a more perfect way to celebrate the arrival of warmer weather?
Harrison's Landing is a boat tour agency that operates on the pristine Corpus Christi Bay. While nearly constant scheduled events ensure there's never a dull moment, the mimosa cruise is a perfect way to kick off summer.
Three different boats set sail for between one and three hours, all of them providing incredible views that can't be seen from the shore. This is the "Japonica," which takes passengers right by the Texas State Aquarium, USS Lexington, several beaches, and a variety of additional man-made and natural landmarks.
A full bar offers summery refreshments like mimosas and Bloody Marys for "Sunday Funday." Two of the ships are BYOB as well, so feel free to bring your own sunshine in a bottle. Live music accompanies every cruise, making for a blissful weekend experience the whole family is sure to enjoy.
If your rumbling tummy is in need of a little more sustenance, head over to the restaurant for some brunch. This lively waterfront spot offers both delicious food and mesmerizing views, a combination that rings in the warmer months just perfectly.
Out back, a floating patio takes dining to a whole new level. Upbeat live music, strings of cheerful summery lights, and the sound of gentle waves crashing against the shore make for an unforgettable dinner.
Menu options range from lighter fare such as crab cakes and fresh salads to burgers, bacon-wrapped shrimp, and other hearty dishes. Whatever you decide on, pair it with a cocktail including the first bourbon whiskey ever distilled in America.
A good seafood boil can do no wrong. Seasonal shellfish is accompanied by all the usual suspects: Andouille sausage, buttery red potatoes, and crisp corn-on-the-cob. All this for just $19.99!
Address: 108 Peoples Street T-Head, Corpus Christi, TX 78401. Restaurant hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, and boat schedule varies based on the season.
