After working hard for Gallery Furniture, Houston's number one furniture store this Christmas break, the Aggie interns were able to go to the Alamo Bowl to watch the Aggies take on Penn State. The Aggies were very excited to see one of the best traditions at A&M - Texas Aggie football. The Aggies weren't very excited when they thought about a three hour bus drive to San Antonio. When the two buses showed up, the Aggies had a different attitude about the busride. They were shocked to find out it was a bus with flat screen TV's with cable and DVD capability, food, a laser light display, and a dance floor. It was all and more than the Aggies could have asked for.

Once the Aggies arrived in San Antonio, they walked straight from the two luxury style buses to the San Antonio's famous historical Riverwalk. There was a sea of Maroon with blotches of Nittany Lion (Penn State) navy blue. The Aggie interns were "whooping", hollering, and having a great time preparing for the game. The Aggies proudly sang the Aggie War Hymn in front of the many Penn State fans that passed by the Riverwalk The interns ate tasty San Antonio Mexican food directly on the river walk. Shortly after dinner they headed straight to the classical Alamodome. The Aggie interns believed that the Penn State fans were wishing they had as much school spirit as the Aggies.

Once the Aggies arrived at the stadium, dressed in their favorite Texas A&M attire, they were anticipating the game and were excited about the great first deck seats they were given by Gallery Furniture. It added to the excitement that the Aggies were seated in the middle of a large group of Penn State fans, which encouraged the Aggies to yell louder for A&M.

The game started out really well for Texas A&M. Texas A&M scored two touchdowns quickly at the start of the game, and before the interns knew it the score was 14-0 at the end of the first quarter. As the game progressed, Penn State was able to catch up and eventually take the lead. Halftime was re-energizing with the Aggie Band, encouraging the Aggies to stay energetic. Unfortunately, the A&M football team ran out of time at the end of the game while down by one touchdown. Despite this fact, the Gallery Furniture Aggie Intern team had a great time in San Antonio and at the Bowl Game.

By the time the Aggies walked from the Alamo dome to the buses, it was late, and the Aggies were exhausted. It had been 12 hours of non stop fun, and the Aggies had a long ride back. The Aggies were able to relax while listening to music and watching ESPN on their way to Gallery Furniture after a great game. The Aggies had an experience they would always remember - when Gallery Furniture sent a large group of Gallery Furniture Texas Aggie interns to the Alamo Bowl!
