  1. Fun! The Gaines’ really put Waco on the map, and it looks like there is a lot to see and do. The Dr. Pepper Museum sounds like a hoot! 🙂

    1. It’s a fun little time-killer, although if you spent the time reading everything, you could spend half a day in there. The old theater where they show all the vintage commercials is fun.

  2. My kids are obsessed with Dr. Pepper (we live in Baltimore). I have to take them and we always go to Dallas to visit in-laws. I see a side trip!

  3. My SIL just got back from a trip to the area (mostly to visit the Silos) and loved it. It’s definitely on my list now!

  4. I’ve been wanting to go to Waco for a while now, admittedly due to Fixer Upper, BUT it is good to see that there are other cute places to check out in the area! 🙂
