Since my parents never got a chance to see our place in College Station (I wouldn't let them see the place), they took a long weekend to see us in late February. The weather was nice and we got to show them around town and on campus. We also went to Aquarena Center, a former theme park that now serves as a preservation for the wetlands and natural springs along the river, and also gives glass-bottom boat tours and has a small aquarium. It was really nice to spend some time with my parents and get to do some things around town that I probably would never have gotten around to seeing otherwise.
Here's photos of Danny taking us through campus, showing the highlights.

| Welcome to Texas State University! |
 |
| this is the history building, where most of Danny's classes are |
 |
| the school mascot, Boko the Bobcat |
 |
| ... it is a very pretty campus, but waaaay too many stairs for my liking. |
 |
| ... see what I mean? way too many stairs... we've already climbed half of them. This is the library. |
 |
| Off in the back is the student center |
 |
| looking at campus from the top of the library |
 |
| construction on one of the new dorms ... they require freshman to live on campus, but the classes are growing faster than the dorm spaces. |
 |
| ... I wouldn't want to be in a wheel chair or crutches on this campus, that's for sure... |
 |
| ... one of the food courts on campus, where Danny and I have lunch together. |
 |
| some of the ponds and fountains in front of my building, really pretty paths and parks where people come to feed the ducks and turtles |
 |
| Theatre building, right next to the building I work in (... guess I forgot to take a picture of my building, lol). |
