Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
Nothing beats a fresh seafood meal right on the water, and Barge 295 in Seabrook offers just that. Located directly on the pristine Clear Lake, this floating bar and grill serves up some of the best shrimp, fish, and other from-the-sea favorites around.

Located on the pristine Clear Lake in Seabrook, Barge 295 offers a much-needed escape from the chaos of your day-to-day. Eat delicious seafood, sip local drinks, and enjoy some of the best views on the upper Texas coast.
The two-story space offers ample seating, with patios both upstairs and on the lower deck. An island vibe makes it feel like summer year-round, so just relax and let the sun melt all your worries away.
Crawfish boil season is taken very seriously here at Barge 295. All throughout spring and early summer, they serve up our beloved mudbugs with all the obligatory fixins: corn-on-the-cob, sausage, and red potatoes.
If fried shrimp makes your taste buds sing, rest-assured it's on the menu. Get it either in a basket or loaded onto a New Orleans French roll with chipotle slaw, pickles, tomatoes, and cocktail sauce.
Five different types of tacos allow for a choose-your-own-adventure meal. Whether you prefer chicken, shrimp, Korean BBQ, Ahi tuna, or even cheeseburger, these handheld morsels of deliciousness hit the spot every time.
Local bands frequently perform on an epic outdoor stage. On a breezy afternoon, nothing quite compares to listening to incredible music, cold beer in-hand, with good company.
When night falls, the already upbeat vibe is elevated even further. Twinkling lights bathe the courtyard in a dim glow, and you can hear the water as it gently sloshes up against the pier.
