Our daughter sold her Ford Explorer to a couple from Temple, Tx and we met in Terrell, Tx. DH and I went so we could bring her back home. I had been to Buc-ees once before with our DD and was knocked over by the most fantabulous truck stop I had ever seen. I took pictures for my DH, but seeing is believing. Heck, I even took pictures of the bathroom! :lol: Buc-ees is the place for a junk food junkie to get an overdose. Rows and rows of all kinds of candy, rows and rows of snack foods, a lunch counter, a fudge counter, a jerky counter (they give samples) :drool even fresh fruit!

There is all kinds of merchandise, lots of Texas stuff for souvenirs, clothing, sporting goods, outdoor cooking gear, stuffed animals, fun stuff, purses, dishes and lots more.
I hugged a brightly striped hammock. I loved the bright colors. DD told me that I needed to settle on a style, "All of them is not a style". :gig There was part of an old pick up made into a bench, so we took pictures.

We bypassed the gift boxed selfie stick, DD's arm was sufficient.

D, I love buccees!!! We always very in trouble in the one in Wharton. They have to many goodies.

Those boxers are a perfect fit. I need to go get some tomorrow if the one in Madisonville has any. DHs birthday is coming up. Those would be perfect to add to his gift basket!

Looks like y'all had fun.

HA! I usually have to physically DRAG my DH out of Buc-ee's. He would buy the whole stinkin' store if I would let him....starting with the jalapeno jelly! YUMMY!

Thanks for sharing the pics! Lovely family! I've never been to a Buc-ee's, but will give it a go when I'm down there :)

:lol: Loved the pics! Buc-ees is a fun store. They are currently building one about 10 miles away from us, right across from the Texas Motor Speedway. Guessing they're hoping to cash in on the Nascar fans. Lol - I think the locals might be more excited though. :)

It is a little bit of Texas fun and crazy. I believe all of their stores are in East Texas. It's actually a really big gas station with a store inside that sells all kinds of specialized food and snacks that include signature hot sauces, jams and jellies, buffalo jerky, fudge, kolaches, etc. They are well known for having exceptionally clean restrooms (obviously not the norm for gas stations) and they also have tons of fun souvenirs - like those awesome boxers! :D =D

I had never heard of Buc-ees

It is an experience for sure! The stores are all in Texas. I just looked them up on Wikipedia and I think we all need to go to New Braunfels!! WOW!

The New Braunfels gas center is the largest convenience store in the world at 68,000 square feet. The store features 120 fuel pumps, 83 toilets, 31 cash registers, 4 Icee machines, 80 fountain dispensers, tubing and water gear for the Guadalupe River.

83 TOILETS???? :th
