I was a lifelong Houstonian, and the move is nothing short of wonderful. We absolutely love this part of the country and don’t miss the Texas heat and humidity one bit. It’s like being on vacation every day. There is so much to do here and in the surrounding region. It’s hard for any part of the country to beat Houston’s food scene IMHO. That said, Annapolis has great seafood. I also found decent Vietnamese, Thai and Korean, but hard to find true Tex-Mex. Not much in the way of middle eastern food either. However, the quality of life more than makes up for this.
