TAMU-C 3: Graduation Festivities ~ 12-17-11

After graduation and exploring campus the boys and I headed to lunch.

My cousin, Justin, decided it would be a cool game to give Braydon lemons to see what he would do. He wasn't fazed very much, like his momma.

The whole family at lunch.

We had a lengthy lunch so the boys needed to release some energy. Cousin Erica, Justin's wife, was the stress relief.

If you are ever in downtown Greenville, visit City Bistro Restaurant. It has a great atmosphere, pretty good food, and thousands of wine bottles to choose from and take home.  The charm of the old building it is in on the square in downtown adds to the experience and visit to the cellar where the wine barrels are make an added memory.

A HUGE barrel of wine. I don't know how many regular size barrels it might hold, but it is HUGE. It is probably about 2.5 times as tall as Cameron!





Floor to ceiling wall of barrels of delicious wine.

The building you see there in the distance used to hold some shops. My mom and I would visit and that is one of my youngest memories of my mom and I living in the Greenville area when I was little. I remember there was a shop that you had to walk up the stairs to get to and it was open to the downstairs so you could see what was going on down below. The flooring was nice hard wood, not like you find these days. I didn't have time to visit this time to see if the inside was still the same or not, but next time I think I will do just that.
