If you don’t live in the south, there\u2019s a good chance you probably haven\u2019t heard of Buc-ee\u2019s. What is that, you ask? Buc-ee\u2019s is hard to describe. At its most basic description, Buc-ee\u2019s is a gas station and convenience store. A better description would be to call it a magical place full of food, household items, clothing, and beavers. Lots of beavers. Some of the bigger stores have over 100 gas pumps. Plus, it\u2019s clean inside. Buc-ee\u2019s was voted as the cleanest restrooms in America! Yes, that\u2019s right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buc-ee\u2019s is a Texas based company, that has recently expanded to other southern states like Alabama, Florida and Georgia. We visited a Buc-ee\u2019s in Alabama while we were on vacation in July, and it felt so good to be back after two years. We had missed it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new Buc-ee\u2019s opened in Calhoun, Ga., a few weeks ago, and it is only an hour long drive! There were other things we wanted to do in the area, so this was the perfect time to stop at Buc-ee\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I DON\u2019T recommend going to a Buc-ees that has just opened. For those who live in Chattanooga or northern Georgia, wait a little bit longer to check out the one in Calhoun. It was madness! There were people taking selfies out front, and people were taking videos on their phones inside. Derek and I had to hold hands the entire time so we wouldn\u2019t get separated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the things I personally enjoy and recommend buying at Buc-ees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite sweet tea is Texas Tea, found in the cooler section. There are many different flavors, but my favorite is strawberry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also enjoy their snickerdoodles. They are soft and chewy. There are so many different baked goods to choose from!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kolaches are also a Texas specialty. Kolaches were brought over from the Czech Republic immigrants who settled in Texas. A kolache is a bun filled with either a savory or sweet filling. My favorite is sausage and cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you research Buc-ee\u2019s online, most people will say to get the Beaver Nuggets, which is a sweet caramel flavored corn puff snack. I have had these before, and honestly, they\u2019re not my favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you have to get something with Buc-ee Beaver on it. Over the years I\u2019ve grown a collection of keychains, stuffed animals, pajama pants, shirts, a sweatshirt and a mug!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Buc-ee\u2019s is a great pit stop on a road trip. Gas prices are usually on the cheaper side. The bathrooms are humongous so there won\u2019t be a line. There is so much food to choose from, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
