Want to read day one of Waco? Click here. I love Waco. It isn't good for a long trip. One or two days would be good for most people. And one of the things you must do there is go to the Cameron Park zoo. It's such a unique zoo, with its winding path and tall bamboo. I really like this zoo. It's small compared to many zoos which is another reason I really enjoy it. Two hours and you're done. So ...

Our Waco Vacation, Day 1
We had a great vacation to Waco with the kids on spring break. This post is all about our first day there, driving down, and checking into the hotel. We stopped by my in-laws before we left to drop off a house key so they could get in and collect our mail for us. We stayed for about 30 minutes before taking off for the two hours to Waco. We left about 12 noon on Monday the 8th of ...
Wrapping up Waco
Spending that time with my husband was more refreshing than I even thought it would be. You get comfortable with how things are at home and you don't realize you need a refreshing of your relationship until you get one. Not that anything was wrong, but, you know, work, kids, housekeeping - it all takes away from your quality time together. And on vacation you get to just focus on fun and each ...
Magnolia Market
Tuesday we ventured out to the Magnolia Market and Silos, which was just down the street, so, again, we walked there. By this point I was much more comfortable being downtown and really enjoyed being so close to everything. I'm so used to being in the 'burbs that I just felt really out of my element, but how silly of me to feel uncomfortable, really. It's good to be placed outside of your comfort ...
The Waco Zoo
This was, by far, our favorite thing to do while in Waco. It was such a neat zoo. It was essentially covered in tall bamboo and trees the whole way through. It felt small, even though it wasn't, and it helped keep us cool, on a very hot day. My favorite part was the aquarium. And also the bats were neat too, as I've never seen a bat in person before. It was hard to see them, as it was super ...
Dr. Pepper Museum
Aside from grabbing a pizza in Waco, the Dr. Pepper Museum was the first thing we did. We parked the van at the hotel and walked over. It was only about a block or two away. It was really nice to be able to walk almost every where. I felt it was a bit pricey to enter the museum, but I guess, for someone who was really into this subject matter, it would be worth it. Don't get me wrong, it was ...
