Rain, rain go away
It's been cloudy and rainy here lately, and today was no exception. To ward off boredom and escape the house, we decided to make a last minute trip up to College Station, a town Rex and I lived in for 4+ years while earning (or at least attempting to earn) our degrees. We haven't been there in about 2 years, since before we left for Maryland, and it's always fun to go back and see what's changed.
And also? Lunch at Freebirds. If you've been to Chipotle, it's the same concept but about 100 times better. I ate way too much, and I can't even bring myself to feel guilty about it. We also got ice cream at a place called Maggie Moo's, which isn't specific to College Station, but was still yummy.
The girls were angels today. There was lots of napping in the car. They were happy and good and they played with each other and Jamie wasn't argumentative at all. Even getting caught in a massive rainstorm and huddling under an overhang for half an hour or so didn't ruin their moods or mine. We didn't get to walk around campus and relive our glory days, although we did drive around and see some of the additions to campus and the town, and some of our old stomping grounds.
It feels so good to have a good day, even when there were so many reasons that it shouldn't have been.

Chipotle...but better? Surely that can't be true. If it is I must immediately move next to one!

Way better. Spanish rice instead of that cilantro lime stuff (I hate cilantro, btw) and your choice of black, pinto or refried beans (refried rules!). They've branched out with different types of tortillas and some other options since the "old" days, but they haven't ruined the original.
Oh, and they have a "Super Monster" size that's something like 3 pounds!
