On this trip we went from Houston up to Mabank, then up to Grand Saline, Edgewood and back to Mabank them back to Houston via Woodville and Livingston..
Plan for this trip
On the last weekend of our spring vacation we decided to go north to visit my sister in law up in Mabank.
Had 3 main stops to stop by this weekend.
The Prison Museum, Salt Palace and the Heritage village in Woodville.
The rest are add ons to our trip.
Thursday April 12th
Sam Houston Statue
Texas Prison Museum
Second stop is at the Texas prison Museum.
First time for both us and was quite interesting.
After the prison museum we headed up along 45 until we got to Fairfield where we stopped to grab dinner at Something Different .
I tried their burger with sweet potato fries and honey tried their chicken fried steak, was quite good.
Then we headed up on the last part of todays journey.

Salt Palace
Todays first stop is at the Salt Palace in Grand Saline. The building is built out of salt blocks and has been rebuilt 4 times due to the salt wearing out. Was an interesting place and you get to take some samples with you. While there i saw a ad for the Edgewood Heritage village, so that is where we went next.
Edgewood
We managed to get to the Edgewood Heritage Park Museum just before it closed and got to come in for a bit. The village is cool, sadly didn’t get to go inside them. Hopefuly next time we will.
Decided to get a late lunch at the The Lumberyard Cafe in Edgewood. I tried the Southwest Burger and onion rings. Did feel a bit weird eating a burger in tortillas but was good.
After lunch we stopped by the Graham’s Market.
Got some fresh produce and then headed back to Mabank.
Later on we went out for some mexican food for dinner.
When we got back to the house a storm came over and we got to enjoy some nice lightning before we crashed for the night.

Driving towards Woodville
First stop on our way home was at the Kemp Calaboose in Kemp. Jail that Bonnie of Bonnie and Clyde was put in jail. While there we saw that they had a Wildflower Festival. Sadly we didn’t have time for that, so we left to continue on our trip.

My honey wanted to stop and take some pictures of the blue bonnets and found this spot by the Old City Cemetery in Livingston.
Nice place even though it was a bit overgrown at some parts.
