Glen and Debbie's Fantastic Summer Voyage: Austin Sept. 16 and 17 Waco Sept. 18

We found a campsite .7 miles from downtown Austin and took the metro bus system to 6th and Congress looking for music and night life. Guess whose idea this was...haha. It just happened that one of Katie's good friends flew into Austin the same day. We met up with Haley and her friend, Taylor for dinner and bar hopping.

Well we only hopped one bar for a beer, a Miller Lite. You see Haley's husband, Jonathan, works on the #2 car, Brad Keselowski, and today Brad won his third race in a row!! So Miller Lite was their drink of choice. Sorry Johnathan, I stuck with my white wine:) But CONGRATULATIONS!!! It was a fun evening topped off by a stop at Voodoo Donuts for breakfast the next morning.

The next day we took the bus again to see the Capital building feeling guilty because we have never taken a tour of NC's capital building. Now we know more about TX than we do NC. The tour was perfectly short, informative, beautiful and AIR CONDITIONED.

Next day, Sept. 18, we headed to Waco TX and the stop I, Debbie, have been waiting for, all things Chip and Joanna Gains; Magnolia Silos, Magnolia Bakery and MagnoliaTable. Those of you who watched Fixer Upper like I did know this young couple with 5 children from the HGTV episodes.

First of all, downtown Waco is literally centered around the Silo area. We had a cupcake at the bakery, the best cupcake ever! It had the texture of a very moist banana bread, yum! Then I walked the Silo Shop. I wanted one of everything but since I have three storage areas full of stuff and no house yet, I bought nothing:(

We toured downtown Waco then went home to BBQ'ed ribs. This morning we ate breakfast at Magnolia Table before leaving Waco. The biscuits and gravy, again the best ever. Plus my avocado toast hit the spot!

Now we are off for another visit and a blast from the past.
