Big New! Neches Brewing Company and Rao’s Bakery & Coffee Café teamed up for a limited edition coffee stout on tap today. Yum! The Neches’ “Big Floyd Stout,” a Russian Imperial Stout, now includes Rao’s French Roast Coffee, adding to the chocolatey richness of the 12% abv stout. What a way to celebrate #nationalcoffeeday

DON’T: Place your head into the mouth of a real alligator (they bite!). DO: Pose with your head in the Museum’s alligator mouth out front for kicks! Document the scene using #loveportarthurtx and we’ll share it here!

Sunset at Sea Rim State Park!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever had a beach all to yourself?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last week we visited some unexpected spots on the Texas Coast and had two very different beach experiences. Both completely perfect in their own way.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A beach all to yourself sounds dreamy, right? That’s basically what happened for us last week at @searimstatepark near @visitportarthurtx
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re looking for a different type of beach experience, be on the lookout for my upcoming blog post with all the details on our recent trip to the Texas coast!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You won’t believe where we stayed here!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
