Hello again dear readers! Sorry for the delay but many a test had to be taken first! Now that the dust of college life has settled for me, let us begin where I left off:
Soda Shop
After a long day of walking through a land of soda pop, it was time to try some our self! Integrated into the museum was an actual soda shop that made soda the old fashioned way! Savannah and I were quick to try some
Savannah, looking suave with her Dr Pepper
And myself, hyper from a cup of Big Red
After we finished our drinks (and I calmed down), we headed outside the museum and found a nice, light blue truck which seemed to be used for delivering sodas to stores around the country
Converse are always classy
We also found a little hidden treasure nearby the truck. You see, since the museum was an actual bottling plant for Dr Pepper it could be expected to find evidence of this around the area. Savannah and I found this evidence in the form of an old advertisement mural:
Here we have Savannah, a picture done by me
Savannah shot this one of me...
Ending on a high note, Savannah and I left Waco, Texas in search of a curious little shop in Austin, Texas.
Waco to Austin
About 164 km
We began our travel to Austin for one reason: an Internet shop. To be specific, The Burlap Bag. I would seriously suggest visiting their website by the way. At the time of this writing, they have a suggesting about how to keep sponges dry (Thrilling stuff, I know)! Anyways, after a grueling 2 hours (thanks traffic), Savannah and I made to to The Burlap Bag's brick and mortar store...only to find out the store was closed for Easter!! In our misery, we forgot to take a picture. Once we got in the car, we began to raise our spirits up again as we promised to one day go to The Burlap Bag when it is open. For now, it was family time.
Austin to San Marcos
About 50 km
Here, I met up with my mom and stayed at a hotel for the night along with Savannah. The next day, we spent some time at a local outlet mall trying out new things.
Like whatever the heck this thing was!
We then ate lunch at a restaurant themed to be "Americana". In other words, like this:
A Gentleman's mother
Savannah and I then said our heartfelt goodbyes to my family as we made the final leg of our journey: home
San Marcos to College Station
About 198 km
After a grand total of 346 miles (About 557 kilometers), two days, $75, and one new dent on my car we finally saw this:
Savannah's best shot of the entire trip
The greatest part of any journey is when you finally come back home. The best first vacation ever was complete and my feet were glad it was. Savannah and I grew as a couple and we had so many stories to tell to our loved ones. As for you dear reader, thank you for listening in on our grand adventure through Central Texas. I think I have settled on trying to put up a blog post every Tuesday and Thursday starting the upcoming Tuesday. Hopefully I can keep this in check as finals season begins here in College Station. Again, thank you for your time and patience!
Ta ta for now, see you again when the times call for it
