Today on Kelly's Korner I'm sharing my hometown - The Woodlands, TX and where I'm attending college - College Station, TX!
I will start off first showing you College Station!
As most of you know the town of College Station, TX is home to Texas A&M University!!!
Gig Em!
One of my favorite things to do on the weekend is go to Northgate! Northgate is a little district known for it's famous restaurants and bars including, the Dixie Chicken!
Another famous restaurant College Station is known for is FreeBirds World Burrito. Freebirds started off in California...partners of the restaurant looked at 20 different college towns and chose to put the second one in CS, TX. Have y'all have had Freebirds? It's YUMMY!
The George Bush (Senior) Presidential Library is also located here at Texas A&M. I finally went this year for a class....it was actually pretty interesting! I thought it was going to be boring! Ha!
And I have not been here yet but really want too - Messina Hoff Winery and Resort! It's actually located in Bryan, which is right next to CS.
One last reason what I love about living in CS is getting to go to Santa's Wonderland at Christmas! You can either take a Christmas light tour on a hayride or by driving your own car! It's gorgeous!
Now onto The Woodlands, TX
My favorite part about living in The Woodlands is the shopping, restaurants, and the river walk!
Here's the new part of our mall (I guess not so new anymore) - Barnes and Nobles, The Cheesecake Factory, PF Changs, Anthropology, Urban Outfitters, Pottery Barn...
The Woodlands River Walk was built a few years ago and it is slowly growing. They already have a few restaurants on it already! I wonder if it will ever been like San Antonio's one day? I love eating on the river walk! Have y'all ever been to The Goose's Acre?
What is your town like?

Hello! This is my first time commenting but I've been reading your blog for a little while. I'm from The Woodlands too! Did you graduate high school there?
aw i love this! my parents moved to the woodlands 2 years ago and just love it....tyson and i love visiting!
Those Christmas lights look beautiful!
WHOOOOOP! I'm class of '05 and if we had it my husband's way (which one day, we will!), we'd live there!
Looks like some pretty amazing shopping!
I love Freebirds. We've had one in Dallas by SMU for as long as I can remember ... at least since 1999. They have crazy expanded in the last 1-2 years and now there is one by my house! Oh, and I adore A&M - beautiful campus. Several of my friends went for their BA and they loved everything but the traffic. :)
College Station is the best place to live. Been here since I was 3!
i love freebirds and the chicken! Both are such great places!
The River Walk looks so cool! I've only been to the Dallas area, but I really liked it!
I love seeing pictures from Texas! I grew up in the Bellaire area of Houston. (I went to Bellaire High School) The Woodlands wasn't too far for me! :) ANddd....if I had stayed in Houston I either wanted to go to A&M or Stephen F. Austin State! :)
What a fun tour of your hometowns!
FREEBIRDS!!!!!!!!! Awesome post...tear...
Sounds like a great college town!
My husband and I actually met at the Dixie Chicken...15 years ago now! :-) Time flies! LOVE College Station and miss living there. Enjoyed reading your post.
