🚂ALL ABOARD THE @texasstaterail 🛤️Step a 🚂ALL ABOARD THE @texasstaterail 
🛤️Step aboard a vintage 1920’s railcar & take a 4-hour round-trip train ride through the Piney Woods. There is a 1 hour and 20-minute layover at Rusk Rail depot to have lunch and explore the grounds. This has been on my bucket list since I saw that they do The Polar Express Train Ride during Christmas time!
💺Choose to seat in presidential cars, open-air, dome, first class, and more. Most cars are temperature-controlled, have restrooms, and a concession car stocked with a variety of snacks, candy, ice cream, and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for purchase. Fun fact: Yellowstone filmed an episode here!

I've always wanted to use my platform for good so I have partnered with @BeTheMatch to remind you that if you’re already registered as a bone marrow donor, when they find a match, please remember to say YES.
Over 70% of patients who need a transplant do not have a fully matched donor in their family, they depend on Be The Match. Because of the makeup of the registry, 53% of Asian patients, 71% of African American patients, 52% of Hispanic patients, and 40% of Native American patients won't find a match. We need more diverse donors to join the registry to increase the odds for those patients.
Check out my stories to learn more about @BeTheMatch, how to register and more. #TimeToMatch #texastravel #texasblogger #traveltexas #texastravelblogger #houstonbloggers #houstonblogger #texashillcountry #txhillcountry #visittexas
🥖MEXICO CITY INSPIRED PANADERIA IN SAN ANTONIO 🥖MEXICO CITY INSPIRED PANADERIA IN SAN ANTONIO
This is the one restaurant I visit EVERY single time I’m in town!! @LaPanaderia opened in 2014 & specializes in making handmade bread & pan dulce inspired by Mexico’s Golden Era, which also draws influence from French, Italian, & American breadmaking techniques. Which means yes, the bread is 🤤 & absolutely worth the drive!
🎥In the video:
-Tres Leches Croissant, Vanilla Concha (top was crunchy while the inside was flaky 🤤), Chocolate Croissant, Sugar Donut
-Bacon & Egg Torta on birote with a house salad (my favorite)
-French Toast on Cinnamon Raisins & Pecans roll
-El Buenos Dias
-Iced Lattes
🏆And if you don’t believe me when I say it’s worth the hype, it was named one of the 10 “best artisanal bakeries in North America” by USA Today’s 10 Best.
📍3 locations in San Antonio (La Cantera, Downtown, & Broadway)
