Saturday Roadtrip

Last Saturday, Kyle and I got bored. This hardly ever happens (probably because we're such exciting people), but summer can sometimes do that to you. When we went to Brenham a few weeks ago, we drove through Independence and passed the Antique Rose Emporium and the Texas Baptist Historical Museum. We made a mental note and decided that we would go back sometime. So, Saturday afternoon we hopped in our car and drove our way to entertainment.

Independence Baptist church is 1 of the 4 oldest Baptist churches in Texas, but it is the only one still active. Sam Houston went to that church and was baptized there, ooooo.

Outside the church- It was started in 1853.



Fire and brimstone (especially appropriate in a Westminster shirt).

The garden was really quiet and peaceful. I thought there would be more people walking around, or at least the owners would, but we were pretty much left to ourselves to walk around.

A little red chapel

A friendly tin man (heart included) on the yellow brick road

There was a beautiful gazebo covered with roses and ivy.

We had such a good time! It's a fun little trip- only about 35 minutes from College Station. We also found a plantation there that gives tours, but they were closed when we were there. Guess we'll just have to go back!

Cute blue shirt! Sounds like a good time...imagine that, entertainment just 35 min outside of BCS. I'm impressed at your resourcefulness! Remember that you can always visit us when you are bored- it's only an hour farther.

Lindsay... i enjoyed looking at your blog. Mary and I went out there to take pictures last summer and had a great time walking around the rose emporium too! Did you guys visit the original site of Baylor college while you were there?
