Like it or not, your relatives are on the way. Whether they're staying with you, with your grandmother or in a hotel, sometime over the next month, at some point someone is going to say they're bored and they'll be looking for something to do. Honestly, some East Texans find themselves saying this nearly every single weekend and they live here!
