Our First Family Vaca with Clara-Part 1

So, we made the trek out to Houston this weekend for my cousin's wedding reception. It was a week of record heat, and in Houston by the bay (which was where we were), it was going to be really hot! We left on Friday morning so we could take our time(not knowing how Clara would do in the car). Our first stop was the world famous Golden Arches just off of I-35 and Mockingbird... we didn't get far before she needed to eat more.
First stop of the day-McDonalds

Stop #2 was in the very popular Buc-ee's in Madisonville, Tx. It was a glorified gas station with dipin dots ice cream, and pecan rolls-a classic tourist trap.

This is only the first half of our first day. It was a long day but we took our time on purpose. ; )
Enjoy the postings to come.

We see the Buckee's signs everytime we go to College Station and wonder if it is worth a stop!
Looks like a fun vaca!
