HERMANN PARK
It is my favorite place in Houston. Nestled nicely in
the Museum District, it is an oasis within the hustle
and bustle of our fair city. The recently completed
Centennial Gardens and Japanese Garden expan-
sion put the park in a league of its own.
ENDURANCE SPORTS
With 35 marathons and two IRONMAN triathlons under my belt, I’m taking on my biggest
challenge to date in 2017: The IRONMAN World Championship triathlon in Kona, Hawaii.
A 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and a 26.2-mile run. Back-to-back. It’s all to raise money and
awareness for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. There is no better feeling than to follow your
passion and help others in the process! To learn more, go to click2houston.com/teamintraining.
MON CHÉRI MACARONS
Houstonian Sherry Shao-To is a master at
the difficult art of the macaron. Aesthetically
gorgeous, melt-in-your-mouth delicate and
bursting with flavor, her masterpieces are the
closest competition my husband and I have
found to the Laduree macarons we fell in
love with years ago on our first trip to Paris.
If you love macarons, you must try these!
