What, no Buc-cees? 

The chaos that is 3 kids in Buccee’s is not happening today. My anxiety gets high just driving by. 😆

We’ve stopped at Willie’s Grill and Icehouse for lunch.

Got the small frozen margarita

You are traveling my roads today!  I grew up in Waco and now live in Ovilla, just south of Dallas. I’m impressed you made it through West without a kolache stop. DH says our car exits there whether we want it to it not 🤣.

BK, before kids, mine definitely did as well. I use to work in Ft. Worth and go to the Hill Country, float the rivers and what not a lot on the weekends.

Appropriate table for us to sit at… see you soon KW!

Our kids were weird!  Not kolache fans so never cared when we stopped (usually just wanted to stay asleep).  When I was in driver’s Ed we actually drove to West for kolaches as our highway driving practice. And I lived on the south side of Waco. 
 

I always enjoy your reviews. Very different from my cruising style but I live reading about it. Enjoy…I know you will.

I had an uncle that worked in Midlothian and lived in Waxahachie. I’ve been to Ovilla.

Thanks! Hoping too. 😉

Small vs large fish and shrimp plate. Small had 3 shrimp and 3 fish. Large had 5 shrimp and 4 fish. Very good shrimp. The fish is ok. Redeeming factor is, I like the tartare sauce. It’s sweeter than normal. 

[MeganGC1983]

The music is excellent… Willie Nelson, Cody Johnson, Merle, Robert Earl Keene. College Station essentials. 

[MeganGC1983]

I guess the kid’s lil Willie was good. Colton ate everything. Briley ate 3 chicken tenders and some fries. Brinkley ate 3 chicken tenders and 1 piece of my fish and 1 piece of DH’s fish. 👀

There’s a couple other families from our town going on this cruise as well. DH is just realizing that this cruise is FULL and he’s worrying about the kids not getting into Camp Ocean. First world problems… use the app, make reservations, chill. Who is running this vacation?! 😆 

Typical guy thing!  He'd be lost without you.

Aww, just graduated from Baylor in May and seeing Waco makes me miss college lol. 

BBA/MBA '96 here. I grew up in McGregor, a small town near Waco, and then went to Baylor. ❤️

When you left at the crack of dawn this morning, I thought you were boarding today! 😂

😆😆 no, I just know how long a 6 hour and 45 minute drive takes with my 3 kids.

The margarita at lunch helped immensely with this. I’m giggling and letting DH react. 😆
