Besties Waco Weekend

My two besties from high school and I had the time of our lives. We have been friends for 40 years and spent the weekend in this lovely home and sightseeing. The property was beautiful it was close to the Silos and the Magnolia Market . A quick 5 minute drive. It was so comfortable and relaxing. The home was so beautiful. We spent the mornings drinking coffee on the front porch and the evenings relaxing in the living room catching up. We had the best time.
