at SeaWorld San Antonio.

Ready or not, here it comes:  the beginning of the school year. It seems like the summer flew by, and for many of us, we are trying to get in our last family outing before the bell rings and school is in session. While the Houston area no longer boasts a world class amusement park, a short drive to San Antonio is worth the time. One of my family’s favorite places to visit in San Antonio is SeaWorld. Whether you want to experience the thrill of the roller coasters – which I don’t – or enjoy the shows featuring God’s majestic creatures up close and personal, there truly is something for everyone there, and the kids always love the wet ‘n wild experience. I must confess:  I love the animals, the amazing shows and beautiful, meticulously maintained grounds. I’m not big on the wet part, but a momma does what her children love with grace and a tall order of perseverance.

As we prepare for back to school, it’s time for the annual doctor and dentist visits. In our special Medical Focus beginning on page 28, you will find many of Fort Bend’s finest medical providers to help get your little ones ready for the coming year. And, don’t forgot about taking care of mom.  Our cover story explores the many stages in women’s lives and the exemplary care available right here in our community at Memorial Hermann.

As always, absolutely! Brazos is out and about taking photos and visiting with our readers and advertisers to bring what’s important, new and relevant to you in a community magazine. And, we’ll do just about anything to be able to visit with you – including suiting up. Our team recently had the opportunity to see how the da Vinci Si Surgical System works firsthand, so we went in, scrubs and all, to capture this amazing system on film and bring it into your homes.

Hope to see you out and about in the heart of Brazos! 

Absolutely! yours,
