The Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, Texas is a terrific zoo! The zoo has a great range of animals and exhibits and the grounds are well kept and spacious. There's lots of shade to keep you somewhat cool during those hot Texan summer months if you visit during that time frame. The animal enclosures are nice, and can really give you great views of the animals themselves if you are a bit patient. This also makes for great photo views, as shown here with this photo of an approaching jaguar. Food and snack prices are also very reasonable, as are prices for souvenirs. This zoo makes for a great day out for the family.
This is another cool shot against the glass. I was wearing a red shirt that day and attracted all the animals. This guy/girl came up to the glass for me it was amazing!  #tnkarts #klmfoto

Great communication from host and an adorable, clean home made this stay great. The girls on our "girls trip to the Silos" appreciated plenty of thoughtful amenities and towels, spacious bathrooms, and off-street parking. We will definitely try to book again on our next trip to Waco.

East Riverside
#windowseat   Not really sure exactly WHERE this is, but it was on the way into Houston, so I'm guessing we were around Waco, Texas.  Window seat strategies take into consideration time of day.  Having a seat on the left-hand side of the plane allowed me some views that were illuminated by the late afternoon sun AND
