Return to Aggieland

July 28, 2010 by Arena Blake 8 Comments

Last weekend, I got to return to College Station to teach at a workshop for my job.
As I’ve mentioned before, The Nerd and I both attended Texas A&M University.
There is just something wonderful about Aggieland.
There are always pennies at Sully’s feet.

The Century Tree stands tall and strong.

Its sprawling branches touch the ground, always covered with moss and underbrush.

The Century Tree is a sign of love and commitment. This was the first time The Nerd and I visited it since we’ve gotten married.

Of course, we had to swing by the Association of Former Students…

…to see this: A *giant* Aggie Ring.

The Nerd could stand inside it. It was *huge*.

It was a such great trip. I hope you enjoyed sharing the sights with me.
Thanks for looking!
There’s just something special about Aggieland. Come take a walk with me and see the sights.

    That ring is HUGE. Do you know the exact dimensions relative to an actual Aggie Ring?
