TX (part 2) & Louisiana

6/23/26 - I did a bit of shopping and in the evening we went out to dinner.

We celebrated Pat's birthday with some Texas BBQ

6/24/26 - We dropped the RV off at a shop to get some brake work done.

Isn't this shop confidence-inspiring? The guy on the phone was very nice and Pat seemed happy with the work they did.

We spend a couple of hours walking around the Texas A&M campus in the town of College Station.

The visitor center gave us a nice guide that told us a lot of information about this college that has 72,000 students!

Of course, football is BIG in Texas. Their stadium seats >102,000!

They also have a very popular "Corps of Cadets" program (similar to ROTC). One of their alumni carved this impressive 4x3' plaque.

95% of their students get an "Aggie" ring

We walked >10,000 steps to explore the campus, finishing up at their beautiful Engineering building.

The George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum was also on its campus. We spend a couple of hours there.

George Bush "Junior" on "Senior's" shoulders. Note: this is what I call them...not referenced in the museum.

George and Barbara Bush both passed away in 2018

We picked up the RV around 5:30pm and went to a new, easier-to-park RV park.

6/25/26 - We drove east and arrived outside of Shreveport, Louisiana, before dinner. We had visited Louisiana in April 2024 and didn't have anything else we wanted to see, so this was a one-night stop. In the morning we left for Mississippi.
