Allison, out of all the people I watch on KZbin, you do an incredible job synthesizing information about your trip, providing great recommendations and commentary, making it both informative and just a pleasure to watch 🤩 Makes me feel like I’m there with you 🥺💕 Thank you for taking us along 💫

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

MARIA 🌞✨ thank you so so much, sunshine. I have a blast making these videos for you & it just makes me so happy that you enjoy them! 🪴 much love to you! Enjoy your day 🕊

[@LifeMemoirs]

Agree !!! Well done Allison, love this video. You highlighted/visited lots of my fave spots in town. I go to Gruene or Fredericksburg once a month to recharge. Oh…and you did swing by my neighborhood (Peace Park). Dallas is not for me but glad you enjoyed 🤗

[@PinkwithaP]

@@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF Hi there. New subscriber here. Any chance of getting info on those sweet silvery boots? If I've missed that info somewhere else, apologies. Thanks so much! 🙋‍♀️💕

It’s so cute how much he loves you. You can tell by the way he looks at you. Love you guys and your videos so much ❤️

[@MollieMason]

Ah Allison, as a Texan I LOVED seeing our beautiful state through your eyes. You captured the magic of this place so beautifully 😍 I live in Fort Worth which is often less popular than Dallas or Austin but it's such a special city full of history and culture and art so I'm so glad to see you came to the Stockyards! 🐄🤠💛

[@gayathriiyer5207]

I was so excited and looking forward to this vlog because I live in Austin. I was so excited that Allison visited my city. Moreover the aesthetics and vibes that radiate out of her travel videos are so soothing. Its like watching a travel movie. I cant also wait to see the places she visited and visit them myself. Thank you so much Allison for these amazing videos. Out of the 100 or so channels that I have subscribed on youtube, yours is the one channel that I look out for videos. They make me so happy and relaxed and your excitement is so contagious. I wish you more success and cant wait to see where you would be going next.

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Oh, that is so neat that you live in Austin! We had so much fun there. 💫 Thank you for your kind words & support. They really do mean a lot to me. 🙏 You are a light!

[@brookelane2583]

I LOVE how you came to Texas to see how beautiful and amazing it is! 🇨🇱 Gruene is one of our favorite little getaways and always enjoy going there especially since we’re only about 2 hrs from here. Highly recommend coming during the warmer months & camp along the Guadalupe River!

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Thanks so much, friend! 💫💕✨

[@simoneclarke5104]

What an awesome trip, thank you for sharing💕. Hubby and I drove our RV from Canada to Texas with our dog. It is absolutely the most friendly state we have ever visited. If you get a chance to go to San Antonio do the Riverwalk. We walked the entire walk with our dog and even got to bring him into 2 restaurants that also had separate dog treat menus. Apparently if you go on the weekend there is live music as well. We were there on a weekday and enjoyed it tremendously. We also stopped in Waco and enjoyed the silos, indulging in the wonderful cupcakes!

[@deeannbirdwell6623]

That was so fun to watch! Thanks for taking us along!

[@gloriamangum7869]

Welcome to my state! I’m glad y’all had a great time!

[@natmichelle]

Your vlogs always make me hungry, lol. Also you use a lot of fantastically descriptive adjectives for your food experiences. When you said “phenomenal” that was the word I would have said too! Lol.

[@spirituallylovingme-11]

I have to say this is one of the best videos I have seen it's so much different places to see

[@lizzyseay8617]

Ahhh so glad you Made it to Texas!💚 I just visited Santa Fe, NM and I think you guys would LOVE it. We stayed at the sweetest little boutique hotel (Casa Culinaria). It had charming antique decor and an optional gourmet 3 course breakfast made by the owner herself. It’s a 10 minute walk from the town center. I definitely recommend it!

Thank you for sharing your Wonderful Visit to my Home Town! Born and Raised in Austin! Barton Springs was so much fun when I was a child attending Summer Camp! Barton Springs was an everyday treat for 2 whole weeks! Tee hee. As I got older Well Barton Springs was just a Treat anytime we wanted to go! I haven’t visited Gruene, Texas since I was a little girl with my Mother and a couple of her girlfriends during the Holidays! Such Sweet & Wonderful Memories! The State Capitol is a Beautiful and Educational place to visit! My Husband actually proposed to me on my Birthday… we were on the second tier by the rotunda 23 years ago admiring the some portrait paintings! We now live in Kyle, Texas … and Yes… The Sunsets are just one of my Favorite events here in Texas! It’s grown so much … Some of the locations you have mention we haven’t had an opportunity to experience yet! But now that I know about them I will put them on our bucket list! Last week We made a wonderful day trip to Waco to visit the Magnolia Silos for the first time and do some shopping! Will definitely make this trip more! Tee hee. I am so Happy you had a wonderful experience here and you are always welcomed back!!!! Oh and Mount Bonnell… Is pronounced Mount Bon-nell with the emphasis or prominence on the Bon… Bon-nell. … Or at least that is how I grew up pronouncing it! Haven’t been there since I was a teenager … many many moons ago! Tee hee. Well… Thank you for sharing your trip with us! It was so nice to see and hear about new places I haven’t even experienced of yet! Tee hee. Ciao from Jacqueline from Texas!

[@isabellalacy9901]
