"There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home." No lie. It may have taken me almost 200 days on the road to figure it out (all of which were UNBELIEVABLE), but Dorothy was right: there really is no place like home.
We started off our final trip to Area III in Rockdale, Texas, with some home-cooked lasagna and a viewing of a pretty hillarious movie. Before long, we had finished our breakfast tacos, completed our Rockdale presentation, and were on our way to the big town of Cameron. Despite what all of their chapter officers told me, I am still convinced that we could train an alligator to walk on a leash; that is my new goal in life! Next, we made a quick stop by Caldwell before making our way on over to Colllege Station.
Wings 'N More was only the beginning of an eventful evening with the A&M Consolidated FFA members. After our delicious meal, we attempted (key word: attempted) to go ice skating. Fortunately for us, there is only a 1 in 15,287 chance breaking a femur. Good to know. Luckily, we all survived the experience and were able to make it to our presentation the next morning. There, we met our very 1st chinchilla. Those are the coolest animals EVER. After I train my alligator to walk on a leash, I'm going to buy a pet chinchilla.
Once the guys dragged me away from that furry rabbit/squirrel creature, we headed to Bryan and then to Navasota. We had quite the enthusiastic crowd in Navasota. Poor, Brian. I told him if he did 200 push ups I'd give him my number...at least he got in his daily workout in. : ) Needless to say, we ended our week on a "strong" note. Ha ha.
Now, we're off to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo for the state Tractor Tech contest and the Ag Awarness Day Leadership Forum. Woo hoo! Wherever our travels take us, though, we will never forget that there really is "no place like home".
