Fixer Upper, Suckers!

 Since we were already in Texas, why not swing by Waco and visit all that is Chip and Jojo?!  While I'm not a diehard fan of the show, Carrie and Josh have watched all episodes and knew exactly where we should visit while we were there.  We started with a jaunt into Buckee's, where my children tried on Western wear and we ate brisket for breakfast  :)  Then 2.5 hours later, we're in Waco.  We got our names on the list for the Magnolia Table restaurant, and since it only opened the week before, we knew there would be a wait.  We were officially the 115th table in line  :)  We decided to kill some time by first visiting the "grab and go" section of the restaurant, where we all bought mugs and got some chocolate croissants.  Then we headed to the Silos Marketplace and Lordy be, everything caught my eye!  We got Alabama Sweet Tea from the food trucks there but the bakery line was too long to wait for cupcakes.  No matter, because the restaurant serves them too!  A quick stop at the scratch and dent sale at Joanna's original store on Bosque Street, then it was back to the restaurant for a late lunch.  We all got something different and it was all good!  We ended the meal by ordering some cupcakes to go.

Croissants so good you'll slap your momma!


The famous silos!

Finally made it to the restaurant!


We even had a few minutes to stop by Clint's design studio/workshop and former house!  We were only a few of many, many tourists stopping by, so it's no wonder that Clint's family has moved and they rent the house as a bed and breakfast!
