This is what Anna thought about the drive to College Station...
Along the drive, as we were approaching an exit, Mark exited when he realized there was stand-still traffic just ahead. Then as we were driving along the frontage road and exclaiming on the huge line of stopped traffic, we started to see some interesting sights. Apparently, many of the cars in the stopped traffic decided it would be a good idea to drive through the grass to the frontage road... of course, we have had a lot of rain through here not long ago AND this was definitely not a level piece of terrain to be driving over... and so, we saw many MANY vehicles then stuck in the grass with tow trucks trying to pull them out. Here is one of the 18-wheelers that tried it. We also saw a car that apparently caught on fire while trying to drive through the grass. It was CRAZY! There were at least 8 vehicles stuck in the grass along the way. The funny thing is, the traffic on the interstate was moving by this time and we never saw what had caused the stopped traffic on the interstate... just all the crazy people that got stuck in the grass as a result! Oh and one 18-wheeler that was carrying 3 vans had also attempted this and was stuck with a tow truck trying to get it out.

But we did eventually make it to College Station and to Noel's house!! YEA!! Anna and Noel were so excited to meet and hang out. heehee Here is when I put Anna in Noel's chair and Noel on top of her. :D Don't they both look so excited??
We had a very nice visit Fri night and Sat with Noel and her parents! Thanks for having us! This is just a cute picture of Anna giving me a look. :)

Carrie looked similar on her drive through CS on the way to/from Waco 2 weeks ago. She slept through both ways. Of course, with Bears for both parents, I think it was because she knew there wasn't anything she wanted to see there. Now, being half Aggie, half Bear, I'm not sure if that reasoning would hold for Anna. :)
glad you guys made it...i am sure mark had a comment or two about aggies, huh?! =0
Nah, Jen... Mark tries not to get himself in too much trouble ;)
I don't comment on the state of the Aggie while in Brian and Collie Station. I am proud of you though Jen, for choosing to live in the home of the Baylor Bears.
