A Trip to Bryan, TX
Labor Day yesterday, and as Lucas and I pretty rarely get days off together, we decided to make a mini-vacation of it. We had from the end of my rehearsal Sunday afternoon and all day Monday. Houston doesn't have the greatest options for day-trip material. The wonderful book Scott and Maggie lent us called "Day Trips from Houston" helps (by telling you every single thing there possibly could be to do), but really there's only Bryan-College Station and Galveston that are at all interesting. I'd been here before with Bekah on a day trip, when we visited the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library, but gave the Library a miss this time.
We had a wonderful dinner Sunday night at Christopher's World Grille - great service, excellent food, including the mascarpone-lemon chicken wrapped in prosciutto that I had (what????! Amazing). Monday we walked around historic downtown Bryan - it's not that interesting on Labor Day when all the shops are closed! - but most of the time we stayed at and hung around the lovely Messina Hof Winery.

Wonderful ship-shaped chandelier in our bedroom!
