Start your trek south... Waco by ATXtraveler
There are various reasons you may head South when you leave Dallas. Most people want to do the Texas trifecta, heading from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, south through Austin to San Antonio. On this journey, there are a ton of neat little towns to stop in, including Luling, Salado, Gruene, New Braunfels, San Marcos, and many others. One of the places that is often missed is the slightly larger town of Waco. I would recommend that you do make a stop in Waco on your way down South, as this town does have quite a few things to peak your interest.Waco is home to the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame for those interested in real cowboys. It is also home to the Texas Sports Hall of Fame for the sporting nuts in your group. If you would like a taste of down home flavor, the Dr Pepper Museum is worth an hour of your time, and if you love Dr Pepper, you should also stop by the Elite Cafe, which serves the best Dr Pepper Ribs in the world. Of course, I am a little biased as I lived in Waco for 4 years while attending Baylor University.
