The Stringer's Stories: Trip to Aggieland

Friday, November 8 - Sunday, November 10, we took a trip to College Station to watch the Aggie BTHO Miss. State. We have season tickets to the Aggie football games but between fall tax season, the long drive and 2 kids, we don't get to go very often. This particular weekend, we thought it would be a good idea to get a hotel room and stay the weekend. We shared a hotel suite with Grandad, Nana and Aunt EJ. That way, we could all enjoy the full day instead of having to drive there, go to the game and then leave immediately. We left White Oak around 6:30 that Friday evening and got checked in about 10pm. Saturday morning, my parents met us in College Station to walk around campus with us, eat lunch and then they took Ryan back to the hotel to watch him while Jason and I took Nathan to the game with Grandad, Nana and Aunt EJ.

Saturday morning, we walked around campus and showed Nathan places from his "A&M Aggieland 101" Book (it has really changed in the 7+ years since I've been there other than a game). We showed him the Albritton Bell Tower, the Academic Building, the MSC and the Flag Room the Century Tree, Fish Pond and many other places around Campus. We also bought a few Christmas gifts, had lunch with our friends Lindsey and Toug (and Kristin Morgan for a while) from Houston. I'm very thankful my parents were able to drive all the way up (and drive home late) to watch Ryan so we could enjoy the game.

Sunday, we took our time getting ready, shopped a little more and then met my friend Dana, her husband Steve and son Dade for lunch at Chicken Oil. We had a GREAT weekend and can hopefully do this again next year.

Here's some pictures from our trip.
