And then, there it was:<\/p>\n
That is just the side entrance.<\/p>\n
You can tell you are at the right place because IT IS AS BIG AS A HOME DEPOT. Maybe even a Walmart. It is immediately evident that this will be more than a pit stop, it will be a life changing road trip experience.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Doesn’t that sound appetizing?<\/p><\/div>\n
Before you actually enter, you may think to yourself, “I wonder what kind of snack I can buy\u00a0myself at Buc’ee’s?” Because that is what most people do when they go to a convenience store along the highway. In fact, Buc’ee’s has its own brand of snacks, the most famous if which are the Beaver Nuggets:<\/p>\n
But there is so much more.
\nSo. Much. More.<\/p>\n
At Buc’ee’s, you can find back-to-school fashion, napkins for your next fancy cocktail party and – y’all! – Texas-themed birdhouses for your Christian birds. So far, you might think Buc’ee’s isn’t that much better than any other stop along the road. And you really need to be getting on your way…except, haven’t you been thinking about redecorating your house? And wouldn’t it be convenient if you could do that now, while you are driving away from your house? At a place that also sells snacks and birdhouses? What if you could get a beaded cow skull, faux-leather pillows, and charming wooden signs for the walls in your new Texas home? What if you could get placemat, napkins and a table runner featuring the Texas bluebonnet? Or a faux leather shower curtain and matching towels? WHAT IF YOU COULD GET THIS ALL IN ONE PLACE?<\/p>\n Friends, you can:<\/p>\n Perhaps you need to take it up a notch. All those decorative items are just a little too tame for you?<\/p>\n Okay. Why don’t you treat yourself to a cowhide? Because they sell those at Buc’ee’s.<\/p>\n Cowhides.<\/p>\n At the highway gas station\/convenience store. (You can also get a mirror with a cowhide frame.)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And that isn’t even all -I could go on all day. Camo-themed items of all sorts. Everything imaginable in the shape of Texas – wooden things, stone things, soap things, lots and lots of Texas-shaped things. There is framed “art” on the walls leading to the famous bathrooms. And, of course, you can get your own Buc’ee to take home.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have several new friends who just moved to Texas from other states. They asked and have been told about where to get the best BBQ, and they’ve learned about the odd quirks of our streets-that-change-names-every-couple-of-miles. The longer they live … Continue reading
