WANDERING THROUGH WACOWaco, Texas, “a city to believe in,” has been rebranded with a new tagline and is in the midst of celebrating its 175th year!  Welcoming to all, it is a city rich in  history, traditions and diverse cultural backgrounds. Waco is growing steadily and is intricately woven with innovation, warmth, and friendliness.  Everywhere I wandered, I felt a strong sense of community among the local businesses and residents. Luxury accommodations…in shipping containers?

A Land Flowing With Milk, Honey &… HealingWHERE IS MILK & HONEY RANCH? The ranch is located about an hour from Houston or Austin and a few hours from Dallas. Easy day trips into Burton, Brenham or Round Top take about fifteen minutes. This area of Texas continues to be a fave road trip of mine! I found this to be a perfect getaway from the city…a peaceful yet exciting destination to reimagine what life is all about.

The Wander Edit began a couple of years ago with the purchase of a cowhide and leather travel bag, and the idea of celebrating the art of the weekend getaway by curating a destination road trip within a comfortable driving distance to share with our readers. I’ve chosen accommodations in all different price ranges, but sometimes it’s fun to budget a little extra to staycation at extraordinary properties all the while being immersed in the history and local color of places not too far from home.
