While on my way to the presidential library in College Station, TX, I stopped at Bee Weaver's in Navasota for a honey tasting. While there one of the staff suggested that I stop at Peach Creek Vineyards since I was along my route. I arrived just as the owners were opening so I was the only one there, had a wonderful wine tasting as well as visit with the owner, Donna. This property belonged to her grandfather and she turned it into a vineyard where people can bring their own food, sit outside around the bonfire and visit. Some nights have live music. The pond has ducks. It's a really lovely community spot! Love this place!

New to Aggieland, I found this memorial thoughtful and a fitting tribute to the lives that were lost in that terrible accident. We went at dusk and thought the lighting added an even greater dimension to the memorial.

This free park features two wooded trails with statues and information about the nation's wars. I really enjoyed the statues by J. Payne Lara and was touched by the Vietnam Memorial. Make this a stop when you visit College Station.

My wife and I took our grand kids ages 4 to 11 hiking at Lick Creek Trail. The hike was short due to their young ages but very enjoyable. The trails were well kept and the nature center was nice. We had a great time and even saw an armadillo walking across the trail in front of us. We will definitely do it again

I visited the Perrine Winery tasting room on a Saturday. They had a wonderful selection of types of wines. My favorites are the sweet wines - Pomegranate, Raspberry chocolate, and Raspberry orange. Those are a rapturous experience in a glass. The couple that runs the winery is very knowledgeable and great at suggesting wines you might enjoy tasting when you tell them in general what you like. They also have a some fine chocolates at the front counter to complement your wine selection. This particular day they had a BBQ truck outside catering delicious BBQ with sides and desserts. Perrine is small but intimate. It's a must visit for out of towners.
