Spring Break Planner For Southeast Texas moms, Spring Break is like a “bonus week” with our kids. We want to use the time wisely – let them relax a little, let them have fun a lot, and squeeze in a few learning opportunities they may be missing in school. Here are some excellent options for your Spring Break week: Spindletop Museum’s “Passport to Southeast Texas History. March 11-14 The staff of the Spindletop Gladys City Museum excel at bringing Southeast Texas history alive for young and old. They have a working print shop, post office, bar, general store, gift shop, and more – much more. They will be offering a special spring break week “passage to Southeast Texas History” that will bring the story of our region’s industrial growth alive for your child- and for mom and dad.

(409) 880-1750 The Spindletop Gladys City Museum is located on the Lamar Campus where it meets Cardinal Dr. Web: Spindletop.org Bowl Star - $1.99 Thursdays Bowling is a great opportunity to do something with our kids.

You’ll laugh, you’ll throw some balls in the gutter, and you’ll create wonderful family memories. Each Thursday, Bowl Star offers $1.99 bowling (per game, per person). Get out of the house and get into some bowling shoes. Crank it up a notch on Friday and Saturday nights with Galactic Bowl- glow bowl and music your kids will love.

Enjoy a Mom’s Night Out: Cabaret – Beaumont Community Players Friday, Saturday Evenings, 7:30 pm. Matinee, 2:30 pm. $12 - $25 4155 Laurel Ave in Beaumont 409-833-4664 Web: beaumontcommunityplayers.com Leave the kids with a babysitter (or your husband!) and enjoy a fun and sophisticated mom’s night out. The scene is a nightclub in Berlin as the 1920's are drawing to a close. The Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience to the show and assures them that, whatever their troubles, they will forget them at the Cabaret. His songs provide wry commentary throughout the show. On the train to Berlin we find Cliff, a young American writer, and Ernst, a German who surprises Cliff by putting his briefcase among Cliff's luggage at the German border. History is in the process of being made… (Hey, if you’re getting a night out with the kids, history has been made already!)

Now-February 28

Educate and Inspire: “One Heart” Exhibition by Pok Chi Lau at the Dishman Art Museum (Lamar Beaumont) Monday Friday, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm Free admission and parking. 1030 E. Levaca. Beaumont, TX 77710 409-880-8959 Let’s face it ladies, art in school the public schools isn’t what it could be. Even the few art programs left don’t focus on the potential power of art – making social and political commentary. There are only a few times a year when we have local opportunities to convey these concepts. Pok Chi Lau was born in Hong Kong in 1950. In 1969, he left for Canada and the United States to pursue a career in photography. For nearly four decades, he has made Chinese migration and the emergence of China a focal point of his work. About this body of work, he says, "The photographs culminate 40 years of my work in the topic of Chinese migration and the emergence of China in an unprecedented pace that shocked the world. Come bring your child to Lamar’s Dishman Art Museum for an example of art as historical and social commentary.

Expose them to Classical and Classic Rock in a single concert: Symphony of Southeast Texas Pops Concert: Classical Mystery Tour. Julie Rogers Theater. 7:30 pm $15 - $36 765 Pearl & Forsythe in Beaumont. 409-892-2257 Okay, you are the first generation of Southeast Texas moms arguably too young for classical music AND too young for the Beatles. However, most of us have a feeling we should expose our children to both. The Symphony of Southeast Texas makes it easy with their "Classical Mystery Tour" interpreting the Beatles in a classical style. As a tribute to the 50th anniversary of The Beatles coming to America, this concert features the best of The Beatles like you've never heard it before: performed live exactly as it was written and with your Symphony of Southeast Texas. The four musicians in "Classical Mystery Tour" look and sound just like The Beatles, but the performance is so much more than just a rock concert. It’s a little pricey, but hey, it’s like two concerts for the price of one…

Share a Multi-Generational Memory: Harlem Globe Trotters at Ford Park 7:00 pm Starting at $16 5115 Interstate 10 South in Beaumont 800-745-3000 Most of us remember the Globe Trotters from our own youth. Their blend of athleticism, humor, and confidence gave them a pretty wide audience. Even if you missed them in a local arena, they showed up on everything from Gilligan’s Island to their own Saturday morning cartoon. There are only a handful of cultural touchstones from our youth we can share with our kids. Enjoy the Globe Trotters at Ford Park – and for one night you can both be kids together

Beaumont, TX 77701 409-838-3435 beaumontcityevents.com/upcoming-events Many Southeast Texas moms have powerful memories associated with quilts and quilting. The quilt your grandmother made to commemorate your birth. The quilt your mom made when you moved into your first home with your husband. Watching your grandmother quilt when you used to visit.

Plan a Magical SETX Valentine’s Day At the Kids Directory, we spend a lot of time coming up with activities you can do with and for your kids. A few times a year, it’s nice to venture out into that grown up world with your spouse. Valentine’s is certainly one of those days and we asked our friends at Southeast Texas’ leading food and entertainment website EatDrinkSETX.com for some pointers on planning a memorable Valentine’s Day. Their first tip was, “Don’t leave everything to your husband”. Men have their place, but after a couple of years of marriage they sometimes forget how to bring the romance. Either point him in the right direction or take over the planning for him. The good news is you have a number of wonderful options, right here in Southeast Texas:

Suga’s Deep South Cuisine

WineStyles

Enjoy a glass of wine while you put together a gift basket for himcenter it around some of their excellent craft beer like Pere Jacques or Pepe Nero Belgian Style Ales. Want to make sure you get something you want? Put together a gift basket for yourself (maybe with an Italian sparkling wine for Valentine’s Day?) and send him to pick it up.

Bando’s

When is the last time you had lunch together on a week day?

Sneak out and have a wonderful Valentine’s lunch at Bando’s.

While you’re there, browse the gift shop and help each other find a perfect Valentine’s memento.

Maybe something from their Vera Bradley collection for you and a Texas A&M Devotional for him (or LSU or UT or Alabama…).

Suga’s is coated in ambiance. On Valentine’s Day they will have a spectacular menu and wonderful live music. If you need to light a fire in your marriage, Suga’s is the place.

Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi.

On holidays, Tokyo not only offers special menus- they invent new foods (and drinks!). With three locations in Southeast Texas, Tokyo wonderful on Valentine’s Day.

Beau Reve

In Mid County, Beau Reve is serving up generous portions of romance. They will have a special Valentine’s menu featuring handmade desserts and mementos and live music.

Thank-you Thank-you to to EatDrinkSETX.com EatDrinkSETX.com for for sharing sharing some some of of their their wonderful wonderful insights insights and and experience experience in in helping helping our our Southeast Southeast Texas Texas Moms Moms plan plan and and enjoy enjoy memorable memorable Valentine’s Valentine’s Day Day celebrations. celebrations.
