We met his family at The Chicken Oil Company for lunch in Bryan, TX.
This beautiful girl is Becky, Ray's youngest sister.
I so love this girl and am so thankful she drove all the way out to see us:)
It actually opened right upon our arrival.
The sweet tea was delicious!
Lunch with my fabulous in-laws!
After lunch, we left for a campus tour. We found ourselves back on Northside again. We passed our old dorms, eateries, ponds, some lucky feet, and one pretty amazing tree. Here are a few pictures of our visit.

After visiting Northside, the family continued our journey to check on the status of the MSC or Memorial Student Center. It is said to be finished in 2012. A lot of work has been completed. It was amazing to see all the changes being made.
We then made our way to G. Rollie White to where the book store had been moved. There we found great A&M gear and of course had to have a family photo session.

At 2:30 we took a tasting and tour of Messina Hof Winery. Both Ray and I have been a few times, but each time has been different and more fabulous. We thought this would be a wonderful experience for the family. Here are some pictures of our tour.

Let the Wine Tasting Begin!
Becky's new wine glass that will hold an entire bottle of wine!
We thought a family picture by the wine maker's
cut out was pretty amazing until....
After our tasting and tour we actually met Mr. Paul Bonarrigo... the wine maker himself. (It was an absolute chance and surprise meeting!) He wears this red signature beret.... a family tradition. He was such a sweet man who gave us several personalized signatures and photos.
Upon leaving College Station as it was time to return home, the husband and I traveled to one of our favorite College Station eateries... Fazoli's. This has become our tradition each time we go now. We ordered some of the most amazing breadsticks to go. They were absolutely delicious!!!!
It was definitely the best ending to an absolutely great daycation in College Station with family! Here is to making great memories with amazing people. Cheers to our next visit....:)
