The Wonders of Waco

Yes, WACO, Texas, is one of the country’s hottest destinations! And many of you know why – Joanna and Chip Gaines’ FIXER-UPPER smash TV hit! On this tour you will get to see their Magnolia Market at The Silos in downtown Waco, their bakery, their store, their gardens, and several of the homes they have renovated. And you’ll have lunch at the food trucks stationed at their location.

BUT, there is truly enough to see in Waco that it can take two days to do so:

HOMESTEAD HERITAGE VILLAGE – This Amish-style farm has horse-tilled fields, a bakery, cheesemaking, a blacksmith and a potter.and the highest rated restaurant in Waco on Trip Advisor! That’s where you will have lunch!
