This weekend I crossed two more items off the list.
#25 Buy a mac. Hooray. I have a new computer. This one wasn't planned to happen so soon, but my old laptop went kaput. Since I use it regularly, it was time. So a new computer for me.
#80 Take an out-of-state trip with Ryan. We went over the weekend to College Station, TX, the home of Texas A&M, for a wedding for a good friend of his from college. We had a fun time. Here are some of my favorite pictures.
This is where we
ate lunch on the way down in Gainsville, TX. Its called the Happy Hippo Sub Shoppe. It was great!!! It was a little off the traditional path, but it was lots of fun and super cheap. Only down side - no public restroom. At that point we hadn't stopped yet, so Newton to Gainsville with no potty breaks...yep that's a long time.
We spent part of the day on the campus exploring. We found some of the greatest plants. I believe that tree in the photo is called a live oak. It doesn't ever loose it leaves or go dormant. It grows continuously and can live for hundreds of years. The plant that is multi-colored we decided would be called a cabbage plant, not to be confused with Cabbage Patch. It has awesome colors and was just so unique.
The campus was full of great details. I loved the sidewalks. They were made of little pebbles - I just absolutley love cobblestone streets, so this was great for me. The other picture is an entry way to one of the buildings on campus. I love all the little intricate details. So cool.
