While I was in the DFW area, I not only explored Dallas and Fort Worth, but I also decided to explore a couple of other destinations as well. I was SUPER excited about this particular day trip. It probably won’t be a place you would make a trip to all on its own, but it is fairly convenient from Dallas. Here is how to visit Magnolia Market on an easy day trip to Waco from Dallas!

Waco

For the record, I was not driving

By now, I’m sure you’ve heard of Waco, Texas. I was surprised to find out it had a population of around 134,000. I honestly thought it was much smaller!

Only a 1.5-hour drive from Dallas, it’s been especially on the rise lately because of Chip and Joanna Gaines’ popular show “Fixer Upper”. Unfortunately (in case you haven’t heard), the show’s last season premieres next month. However, the popularity of their store and bakery continues to rise.

Magnolia Market at the Silos

The Silos

My friend Robin and I made the easy drive down Interstate 35 to discover what Waco had to offer. Okay, yes, we really went to see what all Magnolia Market at the Silos had to offer. First things that came into view were the silos themselves for obvious reasons. These were actually the second set of silos we saw that day because…

these were the first. Believe it or not, these mini-silos are restrooms we stopped at on our way to Waco from Dallas! So creative and very fitting!

The Grounds

The grounds of Magnolia Market are absolutely gorgeous!

Beyond the play area complete with oversized bean bag chairs…

are food trucks that border the property. There are plenty of choices…

as well as cute picnic tables to enjoy your lunch!

The Market

Once inside the store, this welcome sign greeted us. It completely screamed Joanna’s style!

The first part of the store is a smaller area and where the registers are, but then it opens up into the Grain Barn. This was painted on the floor as you step into the Barn.

And my goodness is it huge!

It even features a corner for Chip! I can hear Chip now, “Holy smokes…I only get a corner?” 🙂

Say it with me now…”It’s DEMO DAY!!!” At least they did include his favorite time in his little corner. I will say it was a hard choice. Part of me wanted the t-shirt with Demo Day on it, but in the end, I walked away with the #shiplap t-shirt. After all, they were the ones to make shiplap famous!

The Bakery

On our way out, we went by the bakery with intentions of going in.

Want to visit Magnolia Market but don't want to make it a trip all its own? See how to make an easy day trip down to Waco from Dallas!

But, the line was out the door, around the corner and a little bit down the street. Unfortunately, we had to be back in Dallas at a certain time so we couldn’t wait in line. If you have plenty of time, jump in that line because I have heard those cupcakes are worth it!

Magnolia Market at the Silos is open Mon-Sat 9am-6pm and the Bakery is open Mon-Sat 7:30am-6pm. Both are closed on Sundays and are located at 601 Webster Avenue, Waco, Texas 76706

Lunch

In N Out

Want to visit Magnolia Market but don't want to make it a trip all its own? See how to make an easy day trip down to Waco from Dallas!

On our way out, we picked up In N Out which is only a couple of blocks from Magnolia Market. If you have read any of my Los Angeles posts, you know I grab In N Out whenever I can. Considering they are only in five states, “whenever I can” doesn’t happen very often and is definitely a treat.

In N Out is open Sun-Thurs 10:30am-1:00 am and Fri-Sat 10:30am-1:30 am and is located at 801 South 4th Street, Waco, Texas 76706

Baylor University

While you are in Waco, drive around Baylor University, home of the Baylor Bears.

See McLane Stadium where those Bears play football in the fall.

McLane Stadium is located at 1001 South MLK Jr Boulevard, Waco, Texas 76704

It is a really beautiful campus! I don’t know about you, but I love to drive around college campuses. This is something my family has done since I was a kid!

Baylor University is located at 700 South University Parks Drive, Waco, Texas 76706

    We will be driving throughTexas in first week of November and would love to stop at the Magnolia. We will be pulling our 28 foot Airstream so I am wondering about parking. Help?!!

      Hi Bill-Yikes, not sure on parking for an Airstream. I did not see any while I was there, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any. It’s Texas and I’m sure you won’t be the first person to visit with an Airstream or an RV. But, I honestly don’t know the answer. We parked across the street in a lot (by a church) but it is regular spaces. I would try Magnolia’s website and if it isn’t on there maybe drop them an email! Thanks for reading and reaching out! 🙂

    Thanks for your reply and I will check out Magnolia’s website. If I find something I will let you know. If not, we are staying in Brownsville until end of April so can drive up there and stay for a night. Don’t think we are going to miss our Canadian winter👍 Bill

      Hi Bill-That sounds like a plan and yes, I would love to know for future reference. I would happily update my post to add the info and credit you. 🙂 Where in Canada are you from? I’m the exact opposite. I love winter and hate summer, but I live in Alabama where we were (like Texas) still rocking 100 degrees up until a week ago. Thanks again for reaching out and good luck! 🙂

As we wrap up the last weekend of the holidays, I As we wrap up the last weekend of the holidays, I will leave you with one of my favorite photos I’ve taken. Should be no surprise it’s from NYC! 😍

Your eye was probably first drawn to the foreground immediately focusing on the greenery and Christmas balls. 
🎄
Sometimes, we have to look past the obvious...you know, the here and now to see all the bright things on the horizon in the future. Trusting and knowing God is in control. 🙏🏻✝️
🎉
That’s what we have to do in our current global situation. Push 2020 out of the way (shouldn’t be too hard for most of us) and look ahead to hopefully a brighter future in 2021! Happy New Year! 🎉🥂 Wishing all of you a safe, healthy, bright year! 🙏🏻

That day for me would culminate with the clock ticking down to start 2020 watching the ball drop in Times Square.

It’s much different this time around. I miss being up in NYC for NYE. I’m very ready to say goodbye to 2020 and hello to 2021! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
