Buc-ee's in Luling, Texas is considered the largest of the franchised store and I was so excited to find out when my boyfriend mentioned that we would be going there during the weekend.
After church, we head straight to Luling, Texas. From Austin, it was fifty minutes drive. The travel was smooth and the traffic was light. Google Maps took us to the toll road even though my boyfriend preferred the non-toll road, even though we proceeded to the route.
The biggest Buc-ee's was the goal of this trip. I was looking forward for a huge or humongos infrastructure when I heard about the largest and biggest Buc-ee's. I have SM Mall of Asia in the Philippines as my reference.
It turned out Luling's Buc-ee's was not as big as I imagined it. I thought a day would not be enough to explore the place. I guess I exaggerated my expectations and it was alright that my expecation was not met. I enjoyed the place and there were a lot of interesting products to check out from Buc-ee's merchandise to variety of foods. They got clothes, books, kitchen utensils, stationery, pastries, snacks, drinks, sandwiches, jerky, and a lot more.
Ever since our inception in 1982, we have been committed to providing a clean, friendly, and in stock experience for our customers. Regardless of where you may find us, if the store is big or small, near or far, the mission remains the same.If you’ve been to Buc-ee’s, you may already know that this friendly neighbor along the highways has the cleanest restrooms in America. In 2012, Cintas ran a nationwide restroom contest and made it official!
Food we got:
Dried Products
Banana Chips. He got this for a healthy snacks. I have not tried it yet.
Sweetened Mango Slices. My favorite fruit! I like mangoes. Dried mango from Cebu is really good. This one that I got from Buc-ee's is dried apple mango.
Pastries
Lemon bar. Tasted sweet and tangy, it was not really my favorite but he liked it.
Peanut Butter Cookies. Love the nuts and peanut chocolate chip style.
Sandwiches
Sliced Brisket Sandwich. The beef brisket was what he got and it was really good as it was and also with the bun and barbecue sauce.
Pulled Pork Sandwich. I got the this since he already had the brisket and in that way we could share our sandwiches with each other. It also tasted so good. I ate the Pulled Pork Sandwich with pickled cucumber, onion, and barbecue sauce.
You will keep in perfect peacethose whose minds are steadfast,because they trust in you.
We were tired on day 3 and desired to rest our feet. We walked less this time, but it was still a lot. As part of our goal to make the most out of our budget, we intended to visit some famous or well-known tourist attraction in NY. Though, we were tired we still walked towards our destinations. Tired, but happy feet!
Places we visited:
Greenwich Village. The place looked so vintage and imbibed liberalism for some reason maybe because from what I heard some of the most famous writers lived there.
Chelsea Market. Another vintage place we went to, and it was so fancy. I ate kimbap beef rolls and it was so good. I got the rolls from an Asian store inside the Chelsea Market.
The High Line. I was not what we were looking for when we were trying to find this place. When we got there, I just realized that The High Line wa like a platform above the service road. It had glass walls to view the slightly busy road.
The Vessel. Another tourist spot that I was not do familiar with. When we got there, the infrastructure looked like a honey comb for me and I did not know what was the purpose of the honey comb like building. The Vessel was near another tourist spot called The Edge and we did not get to see it up close.
Macy's. The world's largest store. Wow! It has scalator made out of wood. Wood!
Edge Hudson Yards. We did not avail this tourist attraction. It was too pricey for and did not make any sense why would I wanted to go there.
Empire State Building. Tall, old, elegant, and wow! We did not do the tour for this one too because it was pricey for me too, and again did not make sense. We just took some pictures outside the building and inside which specifically at the lobby part only.
Jollibee. We missed Jollibee food. The Jollibee branch was at Time Square. Yey! Yum!
Food we ate:
Kimbap Beef Bulgogi Rolls. I had at Chelsea Market. It was a bit pricey and if I was in the Philippines I would hesitate to buy it. But I had to try it and treat myself a little. I felt like I was eating sushi rolls.
Jollibee. Yey! We had fries, fried chicken joy, spaghetti, and pies. Yay! So yum!
Snickers. Sweet treat for my sweet tooth. Chocolate was my dessert.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” ~Matthew 11:28-30
