I was able to adjust my schedule doing home assessments, where I could have 3-day weekends. I took advantage of this time do some weekend trips to other cities in Texas.
I mostly enjoyed visiting San Antonio due to its abundance of history. It houses the famous Alamo and multiple Missions, which are settlements where Spaniards and Natives inhabited.
Of course I ate some really great Mexican food and Bar-B-Q! I recommend La Fonda if you end up in San Antonio.
I was looking forward to going to the Riverwalk downtown and it exceeded my expectations. The San Antonio river is much longer than I thought. It’s incredible that you are able to walk along the river to end up in different parts of the city. You can have dinner on the river, go to the mall on the river, visit the Alamo on the river, or stay at a hotel on the river.
Another highlight was visiting Waco, Texas as a big fan of the show “Fixer Upper”. I felt like a child at Disney World! It was really cool to see everything in real life that I watched coming together on the show. Joanna’s cupcakes did not disappoint. I purchased a few items from the Magnolia store. I may have bought even more things but the two-story store was extremely busy and full with tons of people.
If you plan on visiting the Magnolia Market someday, make sure you get there early in the morning.
