Anniversary Trip to South Padre Island, TX – Sea Turtle Inc. and Picking Up Beach Trash
In September, we celebrated our 11th anniversary on South Padre Island, Texas! We didn't film a full tour of the town, but we had a wonderful time and hope you enjoy a few fun moments from our trip.
We really loved getting to see the turtles at Sea Turtle Inc. and looking for shells along the beach. Glad Alex was able to save that huge bag from going further into the ocean - what an adventure! We also saw some people asking to see when we picked up Bones from my mom's house, so we made sure to include that at the end :)
Thanks for coming along for a little of our trip, we hope you enjoy!

Driving Tour of Hico, Texas - Trying Something New!
Просмотров 7 тыс.5 месяцев назад
We wanted to bring you along on a driving tour to see more of the small Texas town of Hico. About half way through we had the idea to do picture-in-picture with commentary.. what do y'all think? One thing we will improve on our next ride along is to get a mount for the interior camera. We liked chatting as we drive together, but think it could be smoother having the camera mounted instead of ha...

We loved getting to hear the history of the town in connection to Billy The Kid. The museum was wonderful and very fun to tour. Wiseman House Chocolates was delicious and really fun to try their locally made gourmet chocolates. We also really enjoyed having sandwic...

Take a day trip to Weatherford, Texas with us!

Thanks for coming along with us and we look forward to continuing to make these little videos be...

    I grew up in Weatherford from 1959 to 1970, 0-11 years old. How awesome to go back after so many years. My dad lived there till his death in 1996 so I visited him sometimes and also to visit friends throughout the listed years. I wish I could move back there. Thank you!

    Thank you for coming down here and volunteering to clean up our beaches. I've tried to clean up some of my local parks down here, but the trash just keeps piling up, unfortunately. Happy Anniversary. If you ever want to have an anniversary celebration in the RGV, Quinta Mazatlan in McAllen is a wonderful place to go.

    Omg, I just love how nicely they donate the milk like that. I live in Tyler, and I buy groceries at my local smaller chain, local to this area only. I used to buy a lot of bagged salads with the dressing, they are expensive but I would buy them marked half off, because they were about to expire but still good. Then the store marked the discount down, so they were not as inexpensive to buy more than one. So, sadly I just do not buy them anymore. I have noticed that they do not seem to promote any sort of produce sales now, which surprises me because produce has to sell fast, to stay fresh.
