Benjamin has earned his Texan wings. Having lived in Texas through all seasons, sampled a fair amount of BBQ, and otherwise explored the Texas landscape, he is qualified to tell us what's quintessential Texas. And that includes Buc-ee's. He took us to one of these fabled Buc-ee's on the way back from LBJ's grasslands preserve.
Was I impressed? I was impressed. It's not just the cheap gas prices (starting at $3.12 a gallon), but the 50 odd gas station bays, the half dozen car washes, and the Walmart-size convenience store. Inside that football length convenience store you will find just about everything you could find at Walmart, but add to that all things Buc-ee. Buc-ee the beaver's happy face is imprinted on everything - bandaids, nail files, key chains, and of course, clothes. Here Benjamin shows off a Buc-ee's kids costume for Halloween. I was so taken with the Buc-ee logo that I bought Steven some Buc-ee jammy bottoms. (He says they are very comfy.)
Meanwhile, we scoped out the food, of which there is quite a lot. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks (including the famous Buc-ee nuggets), and an entire aisle of jams. Buc-ee's also has an entire fridge of chocolate cookie dough. Really, it is too much and yet, you can't get enough. Filling up the car should always be such an adventure.
