A long road trip.

Today, me and my parents went up to Abilene to visit Hardin-Simmons University (the school that I hope to attend). We left our house around 5:30 am and made 3 stops along the way to get there. It was a super long and tiring trip, 7 hours of driving. Me and my mom slept a little while my dad drove. I bet he is so tired now!

As we arrived, everything is so different in Abilene. I mean, its middle of no where. Everything is so small and quiet since its countryside. My parents rested after we checked into our hotel then we took a tour of the city. First, drove by Abilene Christian University....man the school is soooo much prettier than Hardin-Simmons (no offense), but I should have applied there. Then we took a tour around Hardin-Simmons. The school campus is very nice and small and quiet...I enjoy it very much and hope to be a future Cowboy.
We then visited First Baptist Church of Abilene in Downtown Abilene. It's one of the oldest churches that was established for a long time. It is very historical to where they have a "bell" that would ring every hour. The church sanctuary is huge and they have a super huge pipe organ!
Before going to dinner, we drove by McMurry University. It is a older school but yet very small. For dinner, we were going to a Chinese buffet, however we got lost, so the navigator told us to take a long way. When we arrived to the buffet resturant, we found out that it was closed down because they ran out of buisness. We went to another one close by and it was so delicious!

Now I am back at my hotel room. Tomorrow is the Winter Preview at Hardin-Simmons University. I need to get some rest because I been out all day. Have a safe and blessed weekend everyone!
