This fall we are excited to offer our first overnight trip! We will head south to Central Texas to explore Waco, the Fort Worth Stockyards and many other sites along the way, including a pit stop at Buc-ee’s! Friday afternoon, we arrive in Waco and tour the famous Dr. Pepper Museum. There we will learn how Dr. Pepper is made, how the name was created and the complete history of this famous beverage. We will end our tour with a Dr. Pepper float! Dinner will be provided in Waco. After dinner we will check into our hotel to enjoy our evening accommodations. Saturday begins with breakfast at our hotel and a visit to Magnolia Silos. Created by Chip and Joanna Gaines of HGTV Fixer Upper fame, the Silos are a cornerstone of the Waco experience. There will be time to shop at the main Magnolia Market and Magnolia Home, six boutique-style shops with specific themes or tour the church on the grounds. Don’t forget to visit the Silos Baking Company for fantastic baked goods or try one of the many food trucks located on the premise. Whether you lounge on the lawn, play on the Wiffle Ball field or take an easy stroll through the garden, we want you to enjoy your time and experience at this unique attraction. Late morning, we will depart Waco and head to the hustle and bustle of downtown Fort Worth. Our first stop will be lunch at Riscky’s BBQ, a legend in Texas BBQ since 1927. After lunch, Mr. Stockyard, our tour guide for the day, will board the bus and provide us with the colorful history of Fort Worth, including the Historic Sundance Square, and the downtown that was known as “Hell’s Half Acre” for its saloons and gambling dens. This area was frequented by cowboys and outlaws including Butch Cassidy, Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp. After our tour, Mr. Stockyard will take us to the famous Fort Worth Stockyards where we will tour many locations including the Historic Cowtown Coliseum and Billy Bob’s Texas.
Each passenger is allowed one large suitcase on the tour. This bag will be tagged, handled and accounted for by Village for the duration of the tour. Smaller carry-on bags may be brought along and stored either under the coach or above the seats, but those bags will be your responsibility to handle.
