January is the coolest month with average highs in the low 60s and average lows in the 20s. Spring warms up quickly, topping out in the 70s. June, July, and August are sweltering with daytime highs usually in the 90s. May is the rainiest month, receiving an annual average of over five inches. Downtown Houston has a huge underground pedestrian tunnel system so you can escape the heat while shopping. Transportation
The George Bush-Houston Intercontinental Airport is about an hour away from downtown. This shoots the cost way up to roughly $30 for a ride into downtown Houston. The WB Hobby Airport is closer and fares to downtown cost close to $20. On weekdays, a city-run express bus serves both airports to downtown. You can reach the city bus service for information about express and regular routes at (713)635-4000. Shuttles to several locations serve the airports; you can find out about them at (713) 523-8888. Amtrak also serves Houston. You will enjoy your stay much more if you rent a car upon arrival. Most major rental firms have airport outlets. In-Season Costs
Houston is an important business destination, so there is no particular season. Downtown hotels and those near the Galleria tend to be somewhat expensive. Expect to pay around $120 per room for a moderate double. Houston has a huge collection of locally owned and operated restaurants in the expensive range. If you are a budget traveler, you'll find it easy to have a meal for fewer than $7. For a blow-out dinner at the other end of the spectrum, Houston is well served with a range of seafood, steak, and European cuisine extravaganzas.

Alvin There's no place like home
Fall into the arms of the Babe on the Bayou
Category: Alvin Recreation near Houston, Texas
Description of this Houston area Activity: An excitement permeates Alvin!
The Babe on the bayou is preparing for her most honored guests! Tourists who love to visit her time and time again.
But where in the world is Alvin,Texas? It’s an all American hometown, just south of Houston, off Nolan Ryan Parkway, quietly nestled in the endless miles of prairie-like frontier of Brazoria County. Visitors enjoy outdoor, fresh fruit and vegetable Markets, 55,000+ sq ft of antique shopping, Joes BBQ,(where Nolan Ryan loves to eat) Exotic Wildlife parks, grocery stores operating since the 1800’s, bass fishing, birding, nature trails, golf, camping, scuba diving, and even skydiving. Richly endowed with cultural and historical landmarks, legends and lore, Alvin and her twin-sister county towns, Angleton, Brazosport, West Columbia, Brazoria and Pearland are precisely where the Lone Star State TRULY began.
Gaining victory over great and perilous times throughout her history, the Babe on the bayou has tenacious, undaunted spirit. Claimed as the "queen of the coast" in 1915, the babe of the bayou has grown from a cow prairie town in her early teens and roaring twenties, to a rice and oil center in the depression of the thirties to Gulf Coast acclaim in the forties & fifties, to a petrochemical kingdom in the turbulent sixties & seventies to excellent economic base and well-being in the 21st century. The Babe on the bayou, Alvin, Texas welcomes you, dear reader, to come and enjoy her, history, attractions, and simple ways of life.
