Blue Bell Factory

Last Monday, Texas A&M had a school holiday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day! It was great to have off and a bunch of friends had planned to go to the Blue Bell Factory in Brenham, Texas to celebrate the holiday! 

Background story:

             Trey and his roommate, Andy, started collecting half gallon containers of Blue Bell ice cream this summer. Every time they go to the store, they get a flavor they don't already have. They always have ice cream at their house! Anyways, so I thought it would be fun for us to go visit the Blue Bell Factory to see how it's made, and it's something I have always wanted to do. 

So Monday morning we loaded up and headed to Brenham! When we got there, we bought our tickets for the tour and got these amazing, but really silly, paper hats.

We took our tour, and unfortunately they don't let you take pictures in the factory...booo. But it was really neat to see it! They make so many different flavors and they make SO much of it every day! The boys were in heaven! 

At the end of the tour they give you "One Free Ice Cream" voucher and let you pick from an assortment of different flavors, some that they don't even sell in stores around us. Naturally, this was our favorite part of the tour! We all picked our ice cream, duh I got Homemade Vanilla, plain jane here, judge me, but the boys got weird flavors like Krazy Kookie Dough and Rum Raisin. We all had a bite of each others, and it was soooo yummy!

All in all, we had a really fun time on our day off, and we would recommend anyone to visit the

 Blue Bell Factory! 

New year, Fresh Start

So I tried the whole blogging thing when I traveled to Italy last spring, and it was great! I loved being able to write about all my experiences and share them with everyone back home. And what has been the the best part is that I have been able to go back and remember all the funny things that happened to me. It was really a blessing.

One of my best friends, Brittany, blogs about her life and has been for the past few years. It has been a great way for me to stay updated on her life from far away. She has been begging me to do it for ever, so I finally decided that this year is my year!

Really I am just getting sentimental about this being my last spring semester at Texas A&M, and I think writing about all the fun things I do, and all the memories I make this semester will help me embrace and enjoy it so much more! I am really excited, and although I probably won't post all the time, because I think my life is rather boring, I do hope to keep it updated fairly often.

I am mainly writing this blog for myself, but to anyone else that reads it, I do hope you enjoy it and that it does not bore you to death!
