Forty-year Houstonian here: About 13-14 years ago, one of my wife's nephews called to say that he and his wife were coming to Houston from their home in NYC — in July — to see the nephew's grandfather (my FIL), who lived near us, and show him their infant child. My wife's nephew said, "be sure to think of some things for us to do that Houstonians do in the summer." I responded, "OK, we'll take you to Colorado for a month." (Yes, I know, it's people of a certain income level who do that, and we don't do it.)
