Building relationships and community with other bloggers Instagrammers, Youtubers, etc. Recently, I got together with a group of blogger and Instagram influencers for 3 full days in Waco Texas. As soon as we arrived, we hit the ground running. I had heard so many things about Waco; the beautiful countryside, the shopping, the Magnolia silos, the food and the hospitality. I flew into Dallas Dallas Fort Worth International Airport , but a few of my mates flew into the other Dallas airport Love Field Airport β I had no idea that there were 2 Dallas airports, so be aware of this when you book your flight.
Note: both airports are about an hour and a half drive to Waco. We stayed at the Green Door Lofts , a unique set of lofts that have a Magnolia design style mixed with a totally fun industrial urban vibe. Our loft was on the second floor, named the Boho Loft β we had a large disco ball in the living room and a view of the silos from our balcony!
It was lovely!!! The Green Door Lofts, appropriately named from the famous green door that welcomes you into a hip courtyard, with beautiful landscaping, a colorful seating area and heated pool. This is a great place for casual dining with your friends. They even had some live music playing. This was a swanky, friendly restaurant that entwines nutrition and flavor into their dishes β I would highly recommend the blueberry pancakes!
Next it was time to explore Magnolia and the Silos. Just down the street was a great shop called The Findery. We ended the day taking a limo ride around Waco via Legacy Limo! Our driver was so nice and even made us a special playlist β and when we wanted to stop and look at things, like The Cottonland Castle β a new bed and breakfast project by Chip and Joanna Gaines β he kindly obliged.
Such a lovely way to end a perfect day with friends! Want a tip? The best time to go and not have a long wait is as soon as they open. The chef even came out and greeted all of us! And brought us out several different desserts to sampleβ¦ of course, I had to try them all! Sadly the next morning we packed up and headed off to the airport. But, I plan on doing more blogging girls trips in the future and may already have one in the worksβ¦.
