Fall Break Mega Road Trip - Part 4

Today's stop was Magnolia in Waco.  We had watched Chip & Joanne Gains and Fixer Upper for years.  This was the stop that was making all of my friends jealous.  The fact that it was wet and cold put a bit of a damper on the experience.  We also got there right before the fall festival was to begin, so things were still being set up for that.  Just as well, it was set to get a lot more crowded soon.  It was fun to look at, but I'm not really a shopper so we didn't spend a ton of time here.  Just enough to say we had seen it.




We found other interesting shops in Waco and spent a little time geocaching and then headed toward Houston.  Besides this type of silliness is more our speed anyway


On the way to Houston, I may a detour that I had been keeping secret.  Just a few miles away I pulled off the road onto a driveway and announced that we were at Chuck Norris' ranch.  There were some workers painting the fencing and when we stopped they proceeded to wave us on in.  I got out and quickly explained we just wanted to take a quick photo.  In hindsight maybe we should have just kept on going up the driveway.  We could always plead ignorance and say we were waved in!  But we settled for a fun photo opt for the Chuck Norris uber-fan!


We also scored some bottles of C Force water, spring water bottled on the ranch.  We're waiting to see if it unleashes any massive boot-kicking abilities in Dusty!
