This week we took Presley for her first visit to the Texas A&M campus! Since she will be attending school here in only 18 years, we thought she should go ahead and see the campus. (Derek was there for work so we tagged along.)
This is the Sul Ross statue. I thought about trying to explain who he was and why he's standing there and why there are pennies by his feet, but I think it's better left alone. Either you know or you don't. : ) I don't think one Blog post could truly explain the traditions of A&M.
And of course, the Chicken. Her first visit, but quite certainly not her last.
This is a picture of the Century Tree on campus. For those of you who know the story, this is where it all began.
I'll leave you with just a small taste of A&M tradition: According to an old Aggie legend, if two lovers pass beneath the tree's large, vine-like branches, they are destined to be wed. Similarly, if a couple becomes engaged under the Century's picturesque leaves, the marriage will last forever.

Fun post!! Cute pics!
Gig 'Em Presley. Maybe you and Ainsley can be room mates freshman year...Southside or Northside? Ainsley's mommy was a southside girl!
LOVE it! :)
Wow, 2030, that is wild to see & think about! Although my blood does not run maroon and I don't understand all the Aggie traditions, I enjoyed all the pics! Especially the one under the tree, that's a story I have heard & understand, very sweet!
