🛳️5 Tips for your next cruise on @royalcaribb 🛳️5 Tips for your next cruise on @royalcaribbean's Allure of the Seas
🌅Splurge on an ocean-view or an ocean-view balcony stateroom! Nothing beats ordering room service & having breakfast on your balcony or watching the sunset from your room!
👙Pack appropriately! Remember to pack sneakers or workout clothes for activities like rock climbing or zip lining. And don't forget a jacket for those windy/colder days & comfortable shoes for walking all around the ship.
📆Make reservations ASAP, whether it's your dinner or entertainment like Mamma Mia, a Broadway musical, or Oceanaria, a show full of aerialists & high divers.
🍽️Take advantage of all the amazing food on board. Try it all, from hot dogs at Boardwalk Dog House, pizza at Sorrento's, dinner at main dining, & breakfast at Johnny Rockets which is actually complimentary. If you want to splurge on a date night take advantage of specialty dining & choose from sushi, Italian, steaks, tapas & more.
🧖‍♀️RELAX, after all, you're on vacation so head to the Adults-only Solarium, take a stroll through the lush Central Park, or head to the secret outdoor sundeck on deck 14 & have it all to yourself.

✨3 Texas bucket list places to visit in 2023
1️⃣ The only lighthouse in Texas open for climbing! Climb up 75 steps, and 3 ladders to a panoramic view of South Padre Island and Laguna Madre. Entry is $5 per person. @portisabeltexas
2️⃣ Beer spa at @pivovarwaco. Drink a flight of beer while you soak in a private beer bath for two. Beer yeast is a fantastic source of skin nutrients that smooths wrinkles and provides overall hydration!
3️⃣ Big Bend National Park. Pick a hike like the popular Santa Elena Canyon or check out the lookouts like Sotol Vista Overlook. @bigbendnps

🌄Bucket List Places to stay in Texas - Sky Box 🌄Bucket List Places to stay in Texas - Sky Box Cabins
One of my absolute favorite places to stay in Texas. I've actually had a chance to stay in 4 of their cabins and I can't even pick a favorite because each one is so unique!
🪹THE NEST (Photos 1-3) - they call it the Pinterest perfect cabin and it really is that! Watching the sunset from the nest was one of my favorite things to do!
🏡THE HIVE (Photos 4-6)- the most spacious and homey of all. Love the A-frame style mixed with the treehouse vibes.
🐦THE BIRDHOUSE (Photos 7-9) - more treehouse vibes and that view from the second floor balcony is one of my favorites!
🏘️LA TOUR (Photo 10) - probably the second most spacious with a balcony on the first AND second floors.

10 Murals in Waco

August 14, 2021      Leave a Comment

I LOVE going mural hunting, and I couldn’t believe there were over 10+ murals in Waco! Not only is mural hunting free,  but you get to explore the city you are visiting AND get some photos for the gram! Sounds like a win win to me!

I’ll be highlighting some of my favorite murals but if you are looking for more murals, including a map, click here to see the ones Waco Chamber has highlighted.

1) City with a Soul

Waco Texas Mural City with a Soul

Artist: Kalyn Dunks

Location: The Findery/501 S 8th St

Tips: First up is definitely a classic and located steps from Magnolia Market. The mural highlights some iconic spots in Waco! You can find plenty of parking at The Findery, then take your picture and head inside the boutique for some shopping.

2) Starry Night

Starry Night Waco Mural

Artist: Jenny Jameson

Location: 1000 Colombus Ave.

Tips: This beautiful mural is located on the side of the building with plenty of parking. It’s modeled after Van Gogh’s Starry Night and I think it looks absolutely amazing!

3) You look nice today Wacotown

You look nice today wacotown mural

Artist: Binty Bint

Location: 115 N. 7th St

Tips: I thought this mural was super cute and fun! It is located behind the building in the parking lot. Just note that there are parking spots right in front of it but we stopped by on a Saturday morning and had no issues.

4) Bold Waco

Bold Waco Mural

Artist: Nick Frigo

Location: Barnetts Pub/420 Franklin Ave

Tips: I have to say this mural was a hard one! First of all it is a huge mural! Second, we passed by so many times and there were tents set up right in front. Finally, we found it empty one afternoon and got the shot!

5) Dichotomy Rooftop

Dichotomy rooftop Waco mural

Artist: Mike Trozzo

Location: Rooftop of Dichotomy/508 Austin Ave

Tips: This Waco mural is a hidden little gem! Grab a drink from downstairs, and take it up to the rooftop! Then, you will find this hidden mural spelling out Waco and an amazing view of downtown.

 

6) Sweet Trip

Sweet Trip Waco Mural

Artist: Unknown

Location: The Sweet Station/425 S 8th St

Tips: Another mural that is also walking distance to Magnolia Market. It’s located at the cutest gas station turned into a candy store! This mural is perfect for ending your SWEET trip to Waco!

7) Dr Pepper Mural

Dr Pepper Waco Mural

Artist: Unknown

Location: Dr Pepper Museum/300 5th S St.

Tips: The Dr Pepper mural is located inside the courtyard of the Dr Pepper Museum. If you have time I highly recommend planning a visit to the museum and learning more about their history. Bonus, you get a free drink at the end!

8) Greetings from Waco

Greetings from Waco Mural

Artist: Unknown

Location: Colombus Ave at 8th St.

Tips: This was definitely the hardest mural to photograph that I didn’t even get a chance to! Every single time we drove by there were cars parked in front. Look up their business hours and try to visit at an off time! Photo by Waco Chamber.

9) Magnolia

Magnolia Silos Baking Co Waco Texas

Artist: Unknown

Location: Silos Baking Co at Magnolia Market

Tips: If you are planning on getting cupcakes, I highly recommend getting there 30 minutes to an hour before closing. The line will be much much shorter! After you get your goodies walk over to this mural! For more tips on visiting Magnolia click here. 

10) Lamp of the body

Eye Mural Waco

Artist: Joe Rooster

Location: 214 N 11 St

Tips: This colorful mural definitely caught our eye! Get it? It is located behind the building with plenty of parking nearby.

BONUS: Summer of downtown Chalk Murals

Waco Bingo Mural
Waco Mural

Artist: Unknown

Location: 101 S 7th Street

Tips: These murals are located in Downtown Waco and are part of the summer of downtown project. They had several murals but these two caught my eye the most. See if you can check off the Waco Bingo Card! Snap your picture then head over to the speakeasy next door called Undercroft!

Happy Mural Hunting!
