So 10 days total?

I'd skip Waco if you can...tell your wife to shop online because Joanna hardly goes to the Magnolia store.

Plus it's fricking Waco....strangest town in Texas.

I'd add a day to Austin in lieu of Waco, or head to Fredericksburg.

Take the kids out to Treaty Oak, let them play corn hole and run around, you can enjoy a drink or two.

Since I'm not sure this guy is getting out of a trip to Waco, just know Magnolia is THE ONLY THING (besides the In N Out Burger nearby) worth visiting. Downtown Waco is a dump. The cupcakes at the bakery are pretty damn good, but I certainly wouldn't make a special trip to Waco for Magnolia and cupcakes.

I do want to see Temple and Salado's shopping areas one day (along 35 going from Austin to Waco). Georgetown (north of Austin) has a nice little town square.

Sounds like you are going to be doing a lot of driving.

Oh and expect the river walk to smell like shite if you are going in the summer. I'm very much not a fan, but I'm in the minority probably. The hill country of SA is so much nicer. And as the person said about the missions on the outside of the city, they are pretty nice (some rough areas, but not terrible).
