Happy Friday, Cypress! ⚓🌲
Okay so here's something wild that I somehow didn't know until this week — Houston has never hosted a Fleet Week. Like, ever. We've been a city since 1836 and sit on one of the busiest ports in the entire country, and somehow Fleet Week has just been happening in San Diego and New York every year while we were over here minding our own business. 🤷♀️
Well, that ends this weekend. Houston's first-ever Fleet Week kicked off on Wednesday, 1,000+ sailors and Marines are literally in the city right now, and three Navy ships are parked in the Ship Channel just chilling. You can go tour them. For free. There are also free concerts, a free aviation expo at Ellington with actual military aircraft, and a drone show in Seabrook. All free. 🫡
So if you didn’t have any plans this weekend, just know there's a whole Top Gun situation happening 30 minutes down the road if you want to get out. ✈️
Cheers! - Ashlyn 🌲💚
