Westwood Travel

I made a pit stop here earlier this evening on my way home from Sherwood Forest Faire (I’ve been before, so check out my review if you’re curious). I had my three charges with me, so pit stops are definitely different when I’m on nanny duty! The staff was really helpful and friendly, and didn’t seem to mind that «my» kiddos are all in the «I must touch EVERYTHING» phase. I actually had a very pleasant and interesting conversation with a couple of the clerks on duty. All of the friendly faces were a refreshing break from all of the cranky-​pants people I seem to encounter lately. Maybe it’s just small-​town hospitality; whatever it is, I’ll take it!
The store itself was quite clean – even at 8pm when I stopped in, and the bathrooms were also in good condition – that’s important, I was so worried about that. It’s actually one of those combo stores – there’s a McDonald’s attached on one side, and a Quizno’s on the other. Add that to the convenience store’s decent selection of juices, sports drinks, soft drinks and even protein shakes in their coolers, the snacks offered on the shelves, and even the fresh fruit offered at the counter, there’s something for everyone if you’re feeling a rumbly in your tumbly. I never thought I’d give a convenience store such a great rating (well, maybe the Bucee’s in Luling – that place really does have fabulous restrooms), but this one definitely earned it in my book.
