So- life happened again and I may have slightly fallen off
my way of eating. We took the kids on a road to Galveston, TX. Of course we had
to stop in Waco on the drive home. You can’t go to Texas and NOT stop at
Magnolia Market! More on that later…
15 hours in a car
with 3 kids- I didn’t almost make the healthiest choices- but I didn’t mindlessly
eat either. Spending 3 days on the beach, swimming, fishing off the pier day
and night, and not eating the best. I can tell you- my body can feel the difference.
After the third day of being off diet- I could feel my overall body aches
coming back, along with the puffiness, and my hips- oh my hips hurt.
We went out for Chinese food the first night in Galveston,
TX- the place was close to the hotel and we were starving. I ordered the Mongolian
Beef (extra spicy)- This is what I was expecting-
What I got was this- it didn’t taste anything like Mongolian
Beef- it tasted like Pot Roast. We thought we were being pranked. THAT’S how
bad the food was.
It was agreed upon before our trip- that you can’t go to
Texas and NOT stop in Waco. For those that watch HGTV and are fans of Chip and
Joanna Gaines- you know what I am talking about. Magnolia Market. When we
arrived late afternoon on a Saturday- I didn’t know they were having “Spring @
the Silos” weekend event. IT WAS PACKED! I was surprised to see so many people
there. There were vendors lined up and food trucks. The line to shop at the
Silo Bakery was wrapped around the block. Lines were just as long to get into
the Market. Eric bought me a T-shirt #SHIPLAP and I wanted to get some baked
good from the bakery- but the lines were too long. It would have been more
enjoyable with people that love the show and “get it” what it means to be in
that space. Unlike the preteen and teenagers that complained “Can we leave?”, “This
is stupid.”, “There are furniture stores in Kansas City.”, “Why are we stopping
here?”, OMG! There are so many people here!” ß
OK, that last one was me.
I want would like to visit again, maybe with a group of
women and on a weekday. It’s definitely worth the trip.
