Day Trips in Dallas-Fort Worth
"This is a day trip with multiple destinations you can mix and match. Just 90-minutes south of Dallas or Fort Worth, Waco is home to the Baylor University Bears. Come down on a fall Saturday to watch some Big 12 football at the glistening McLane Stadium located on the banks of the Brazos River. Here you can “sailgate” by docking your boat right outside the stadium or you can stroll through the college town campus.If that doesn’t sound appealing, you can check out the stomping grounds of now-famous HGTV Fixer Upper couple Chip and Joanna Gaines at Magnolia Market at the Silos. Stepping into the silos feels like you’re walking onto the set of an HGTV show. From shopping and the garden to food and games, there’s a lot to see at this now nationally known destination.Another interesting Waco stop is the Dr. Pepper Museum, where for $10 you can visit the “Home of Dr. Pepper.” See more than 100,000 items relevant to the history of soft drinks and enjoy a beverage from the soda fountain.Regardless of how you choose to spend your time in Waco, be sure to make a pit stop on your way back to Dallas at the famous Czech Stop. There, you will find their specialty kolach pastries with flavors like cream cheese, a variety of fruits, sausage, and pepperoni made to absolute perfection. Expect a line." - MATADOR_NETWORK
