The Heavens parted and we heard Angels singing...

...And on the eighth day, God created Buc-ees.
And He saw that it was good.

Can I get an AMEN?


A few weeks ago the world's largest Buc-ees opened right here in our little town of Wharton, and what a day it was! Doug and the boys are ginormous fans of the store and were literally counting down the days until it opened. Since then, it's almost daily that we need something from the most happiest place on earth!

If you've never heard of Buc-ees, let me tell you a little about it.
It takes the concept of convinience store to a whole other level. Not only can you buy gas or a bag of chips, but this place has it's own deli, bakery, sandwich shop, coffee bar, gift shop, and an incredible selection of dozens of homemade treats.
The store is so clean, the employees are friendly, and the bathrooms - well, in their words, "you have to pee it to believe it!"

The gift area has everything Texas!
Souvenirs, shirts, art, lotions & potions, you name it.
Danny was mesmerized by this display of John Wayne products. He gazed upon these images of The Duke like an archaeologist would gaze upon Stonehenge...it was a little scary.

It may take professional help to get us off the Beaver Nuggets...

When Doug encountered the jerky bar, I thought he suffered a brief stroke.
He was speechless and motionless for several minutes. I may have even seen a little drool hit the floor...either that, or he peed his pants.

The neighboring Outdoor store has everything you need for hunting and home decor (two words I never thought I'd use in the same sentence!) I also highly covet their HUGE selection of cast iron cookware.

You know, if Ryan had on a red cap he'd kinda look like Buc-ee...

And there's nothing better on the planet than a Dr. Pepper Icee on a hot Texas summer day!
...and don't ask for a sip, we don't share!

Yes, Buc-ees supplies us with all three vital food groups:
Icee, jerky, and Beaver Nuggets
What more do we need?
