Monday we went to Waco, TX and visited Magnolia and Branding the Brazos.

Magnolia is the Chip and Joanna Gaines empire from the TV show Fixer Upper. My impression is that it is a tourist trap for women.

They had lots of household decorations, kitchen gadgets and other women’s entrapments. I am glad we now live in an RV so we don’t have room, or I know we would have been bringing something home.

We ate breakfast at the Magnolia Table. I’ll let Sherry tell you more about that since she does our eating reviews. I’ll just say it was the most expensive breakfast I’ve ever had.

Crossing the Chisholm Trail

One neat thing we did see was “Branding the Brazos”. It is multiple sculptures of three cowboys on horses herding 25 long horn cattle across the suspension bridge built in the 1800’s.

One thing I really have to get better about is taking pictures. I don’t think about it until we are hundreds of miles away and I start my blog. There are many more photo ops of Magnolia and the bridge that we missed out on. I promise I’ll try to do better in the future.

We were here in January and the weather was great. The highs have been in the upper 60’s and lower 70’s. So if you are looking to get out of the cold winter weather up north, come down to Waco, Texas and go to Magnolia and Branding the Brazos.
