Thanks again! I don't know Houston, so I didn't realize what the Museum District had to offer.  After doing some google map exploring, I decided on that area.  Paying less for a room at Hotel Zaza then I would downtown.   Doesn't look like a long Uber to Toyota Center.  Sunday the family can walk around that whole museum and park area. Boys(10 and 12) and my wife will love the Museum of Natural History, which is opened Sunday.  Then we can hang out by the pool when I get back from coaching. Looking forward to a little vacation since this summer was so hectic.
Looking at Sunday dinner plans.  Thoughts on MF Sushi or Fia's Pizza?  Any other recommendations for that area on a Sunday?  Grangers looks a little fancy.  Lien's Viet Kitchen caught my eye, but they close early on Sunday. 

Get a poolside room at Zaza for the boys ‘education’

Not food related, but before or after they hit up the museum, they might also like riding the train that goes around Hermann park. My kids are younger but sometimes when we got to the zoo we’ll duck out early and ride the train instead to mix things up.

yikes... damn.  Thank you both for the input. 

 

I'm wondering if a Sunday in late September might be a little more tolerable?  Just seems so convenient. 

 

just a reminder, if you're driving around town do not leave anything in your vehicle. people will pop a window in heartbeat

Just go back to SA.  Got into Houston a little later then I wanted on Saturday so we checked in to Zaza and relaxed prior to the Laufey concert(really great show! She is very talented).  I didn't get to hang by the pool, but it's a cool little setup.  While I coached yesterday, the wife and kids got picked up by my nephew for breakfast with cousins, and then just spent the day walking around the park, kicking the soccer ball, etc.  Zaza had a shuttle to Rice Village so we went to Rice Box. Kids enjoyed it, and we got way too much food.  Walked around a bit and had some desert, then got some much needed rest.  Oldest son wanted to go back to the park this morning, so we got a little workout in to start the day.  

I definitely think we made the right decision to stay in that area.  Thanks for the input.  It's a fun hotel with lots going on and great people watching.  Had an interseting interaction with an older spa lady who was hitting on a young valet. 

The boys enjoyed the stay as well, but I wouldn't mind going there just with my wife, to spend some time at the pool, spa, bar, etc.

Glad you had a good time. Hermann is a great park. I’d probably go Zilker, Landa, and Hermann in that order in Texas.
