Road Trip to College Station Texas…

With us camping a little over an hour from our old home town of College Station we decided to take a day trip over to town. We had several objectives while in College Station.

Our first stop was to Coco Loco for some curbside service since it is our very favorite lunch spot in College Station. We ordered four Carne Asada tacos and some chips with their wonderful green and red sauce, Our plan was to eat one taco each and save the other two for our next lunch on the road coming up soon.

Our next stop was to see an old friend of mine who raises bees and makes the best honey in the Brazos Valley. He and I had chatted online and I told him I was going to be in town to drop off a load of Bell Jars for him to use for honey. He urged us to stop by and mentioned he also had some more honey for us to take back with us. It was great to chat (socially distanced) with Gene and we look forward to consuming more of his ET Buzzz Honey.

College Station recently was hit with some very large hail and intense storms bringing loads of rain and wind along with the hail. We wanted to drop by the rent house we still own in town and see if it or any of the trees around it had been damaged. Luckily for us we didn’t see any damage and I was glad since we had just replaced the roof last year.

Sharon also wanted to stop by C.C. Creations Warehouse to get her a new Texas A&M University visor. Luckily she found the one that she wanted and scored another Aggie T-shirt off the 50% discount table they always have there.

With her new visor in hand we also wanted to walk around the Texas A&M University campus to see some of our favorite sites. We parked near the Former Students Center and walked alongside Kyle Field, the Aggie football stadium. Man oh man it was a bit eerie as we were nearly the only people on campus.With enrollment at Texas A&M University at 60,000+ students it was weird to see it so empty.

Our last stop was to the local Aldi Grocery Store to purchase our Aldi favorites. We haven't been to an Aldi for quite some time so we stocked up on few goodies before heading back to the RV park. While we didn’t have any time to visit many of our dear friends in town we will certainly return another day after the virus has abated to spend more time in town visiting friends.

NOTE: We are currently at High View COE Park near Ennis Texas until June 10th…
