Continuing Through Texas

April 21, 2019

Our first visit to a Buc-ee’s and our last stop in Texas was Nacogdoches where my Dad showed us around.

Buc-ee’s

Have you ever been to a Buc-ee’s? Just before we made it to my parent’s house, we stopped at a Texas gas station chain called Buc-ee’s although it is so much more. We got diesel for $2.55/ga (best price yet!), legit beef jerky (we chose cherry maple and lemon pepper out of dozens of choices), chicken salad, a brisket sandwich, and a $.79 large soda. They had everything you would need to have an excellent tailgate party including cheap ice, BBQs, you name it. The one we went to has practically a dedicated exit off the freeway to make it easy in/out and is more like a complex with huge stalls making it no problem maneuvering around. Their beaver logo is goofy fun too!

Nacogdoches, TX

Our final stop for the day was Nacogdoches, TX where I was born and for my dad to show us the sights (I've haven't been since so it was all new!). He showed us where he went to college at Stephen F Austin University and a few other highlights before they headed back home. We stayed the night at the simple but lovely Red Barn RV Park. I did not really have any expectations, but Nacogdoches was actually quite nice and we enjoyed visiting there.
