My wife and I were very disappointed with Magnolia. $20 to park. Mostly all of the items in their store was manufactured overseas, very little made in America. Won’t be back.
Did Laurel, MS and stayed at the Sleepy Hollow Park last spring. This season, they had a couple doing a house who were staying at the same park near where we pulled in. Actually, met some of the people on the show. If the bigger hospital wasn’t 25-30 minutes away in Jackson, we were considering moving there.
There’s a lot to see in Waco: Waco Mammoth National Monument, Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum, Dr Pepper Museum and Cameron Park Zoo, to name a few.
For Snohomish I’d recommend Thousand Trails Thunderbird in Monroe as it is 20 miles closer. Also in the Monroe area is the fairgrounds or Cascade RV Resort in Sultan.
Thank you for the researched ideas, Gail! I am unsure if DW is a fan of any of the three mentioned shows, but, we might pass through or near Snohomish on our return from Alaska this summer/early fall. Have a great week and safe travels!
