The next stop on Winter Vacay 2019 was the Dallas Ritz-Carlton. The lobby was small but pretty, and had a really large gingerbread display — it was a house that had a giftshop inside!
Our room was the usual size, and comfortable.
…but the honor bar’s offerings were more Texas-sized than usual.

Next stop: Czech Stop in West for breakfast kolaches.
and what is the deal with these giant cupcakes?!
answer: I guess that’s why they’re $5 cupcakes.

We had such a fun time last visit in Waco at Magnolia with the kids playing on their field, but this time it was so crazy busy that we didn’t even try. I’m not a huge HGTV person, but a stop in Waco makes the trip from Dallas to San Antonio better and getting to run around is a plus. I went through the shop and we got on the little free trolley that took us through town.
BTW, this mural is nearby the silos and is *made* for kid pics

Also Waco: 
If the Bears Kill It, We’ll Cook It (and they even have their home # on the building in case the bear kills it after business hours, I guess)

Part Two of getting from Dallas to SA is so fab, it’s going to be its own post.
Hint:
Be Kind
