The Ultimate Texas Road Trip: A 12-Day Journey Through the Lone Star State

[@sweetpea80881]

Came for the video, stayed for the wholesome father son relationship

[@AKZTravel]

why do they do that?

[@kenb5394]

It's so wonderful to see a channel where father and son spent time together, wish I had that with my dad

[@lunity1111]

To be fair I spend a lot of time with my family but no way would they ever let me post them on social media they don’t even like me sharing photos lol

[@GraceCook-g1l]

Neat to see the Flying Horse so prominently displayed and widely used. We had a Flying Horse gas station on the corner of the small CT town where I grew up. There is a bank on that corner now.

[@Cannabis1995]

Lost my dad 9 years ago. Looking at you enjoy your time with yours brings me happiness. Love your videos man

[@CoastalLivingTX]

I feel the same, his Dad reminds me of my Dad, same sense of humor. We'd be doing the same if he was still alive...

[@TheManagingTechnolog]

Sorry to hear that. I grown without pops, my pop-pop who raised me, died of cancer 20yrs ago. Now I spend every day with my son, to give him something I never experienced with my dad, but thanks to my old man, I am trying to be the best dad in the world. I am thinking about g-dad every day since he passed. RIP

[@waltertx.6020]

It really does make me reflect on time with my father ❤

[@regista00]

I felt this one

[@mariondiemert430]

In 1963 when President Kennedy was killed, I was in 8th grade. The principal came on the voice cam and told us all to go home. She also said that our President had been shot and that he died. I walked home in a trance. Could not comprehend what had just happened. When I got home, my mother held me as I cried. She was crying too. Will never forget. Never.

[@blugnu1]

We were Air Force brats and stationed in Athens Greece. We heard about it the following day on the radio. I was 7 years old , but knew we were ugly Americans. I was so sad and scared. 😢I was in my 30’s before I saw the original news articles. They closed the base the following year. I ended up going to the JFK HS that had been dedicated the day before he died, in San Antonio.

[@Maxwell1989]

​@@blugnu1I went to JFK middle school in Clearwater FL

[@francisebbecke2727]

We had just seen John Kennedy the day before, Nov. 21 at Brooks Air Base so it hit us hard. I was in third grade.

[@TravelJennie]

I went to all 89 Texas state parks. Started in April 2020 and finished in April 2023. Just finished visiting 48 states and the 51 national parks within them. Drove 90,000 miles in 3 1/2 years.... much of that was the 1000 miles through Texas every time I drove my cargo van back home to Houston. Yep, you drive 1000 miles in Texas and you're STILL in Texas 🙂

[@magnawaves]

😂 it's the worst and best part of these trips, but it gets tiring to think after ten hours I'm still not out of Texas. That's a hell of a travel record you've got. I think I'm gonna take a stab at the state park one

[@terrymyraejtytk4304]

Awesome!!

[@davidyoder6174]

Pops has a great voice and a wonderful job on the National Anthem!!!

[@texasred3134]

At 13yo my history teacher brought her TV from home, and had a janitor put up an antenna. The class watched live (8 second delay) the motorcade, they did'n cut away. The whole class burst into tears at the atrocity we had just witnessed.

[@kayleebeare]

The long road trip videos are my favorite!!! Such a treat. Thanks Josh and Pops as always for sharing your journeys with us!

[@themonkeytrainer]

I like how you add a respectful chunk of history into the mix of your videos. If you make it back to central Texas, you might enjoy peeking behind the traditional Cowboy and Mexican cultures, and instead digging into the German History of Texas. In the 1800's, Galveston was a major immigration starting point for German settlers, who spread throughout central Texas, often connecting with traveling groups of German immigrants who had previously settled in North Dakota, traveling up and down the rivers, working as carpenters. The combined groups of immigrants helped each other build their own towns, homes and churches. This resulted in the "Painted Churches" of south Texas -- unassuming, small buildings that were elaborately hand-painted and decorated inside to resemble the stone interiors of their traditional centuries-old church buildings back in Germany. Visit in October and you'll find many local Oktoberfests that aren't just excuses to party. Poke around and you can find a few community whose residents still speak German, and keep a traditional biergarten or two tucked behind local businesses and city buildings. During WWII, a number of towns hosted POW camps of German prisoners, many of whom worked as laborers for local farmers while detained, and ultimately forswore German allegiance so they could remain in Texas and become American citizens. Naturalized Germans remain as a small, hidden subculture in a lot of Texas communities.

[@kvup3972]

Great job on history for me thanks .

[@Effusive777]

@themonkeytrainer Thanks for sharing the info. You made me think of New Braunfels, Texas.. and it seems they DO have alot of German influence. They sure do have a Sophienburg museum, that I think literally shows how the people came across in a hold, squished in together and allowed only one trunk to have their whole family belongings or stuff in. And a newspaper called "Herald- Zeitung". And they have a Schlitterbahn waterpark that is supposed to be one of the best.

[@margarethandy6369]

This was one of the best tours of Texas. You and Pops have entertained us on numerous trips. I was 21 and working downtown Dallas and saw JFK’s parade in Dallas the day he was assasinated and the horror of the sounds of police sirens in downtown bouncing off the tall buildings is something you can’t forget. You and dad had what Texans call a Barbecue Pilgrimage and I’m glad you enjoyed our signature dish. Thanks from a native Texan!!

[@VIATEXAS]

Texan all my life and I haven’t visited all these place. Thank you Josh and Pops for sharing your adventures!

[@pursuitoflifewithsabrina6045]

This was great. I live in Waco and have been a Texan all my life. it was fun to see you go to places I have been before. Also, I saw a lot of places in downtown Dallas, Houston and San Antonio that I can not wait to visit because of your video. I am healing from cancer treatments and surgeries so even though I do not have the energy to travel right now, I feel like I traveled with you and Pops. Thank you. Excited about your other videos.

[@Chinoiserie9839]

My goal in life is to own an RV and visit the places that you and your dad have gone through. You guys have such an astounding taste in your destinations and what I love from your trips are the stuff that we viewers learn from the places you visited.

[@Tricia-Tricia]

Oh, man! 😍 That's an epic goal you've got there! 🚐💨 Owning an RV and following in the footsteps of this awesome duo? Count me in! 🙌🌍 I mean, have you seen the places they've explored? 🤩 It's mind-blowing! 🤯 Their taste in destinations is simply off the charts! 🔝 And the best part? We viewers get to soak up all the incredible knowledge they gather along the way! 📚🌟 Life-changing experiences, right at our fingertips! ✨🌈 Can't wait to embark on this adventure with you, my friend! Let's hit the road and discover the world, one RV trip at a time! 🌎🌤🚍

[@artzk1]

Oh my goodness, I’m a retired special ed teacher. I just knew Pops had to be an educator due to his good, informative comments. Love your videos!

[@MsLilsweets]

I'm from Texas and have lived every direction in our State and your video makes me so proud to be Texan ❤

[@deo700]

Got goosebumps when ur dad sang the national anthem! As an immigrant two national anthems mean different things to me.

[@rogermoreno1152]

So many things to say about this video! First of all, GREAT content!! And its so awesome that you are spending this time with your dad, which is very lovely and precious, I love seeing that! Second, I'm a native Texan (born in Bryan, and raised and still reside in Schulenburg), and I LOVE and appreciate content creators like you that are showing everyone all of the amazing things and places to see in my great Lone Star State!! I am definitely saving this video so I can check these locations off from my bucket list, some I have been to (most everything in Corpus Christi, as most of my extended family is from there) but others I had no idea about! So thanks again for this. Lastly, a bit of a personal message here, to anyone who might read my comment and finds themselves feeling similarly - I am 41 and have been divorced for two years now. I have spent enough time grieving over my failed marriage and stuck inside my own head. At some point, the yearning to get out there and start living your life again will hit you like a ton of bricks, and that is where I find myself, and why I've been on a rabbit hole of Texas treasures as of late. I owe it to myself, and so do you, to start enjoying your life again. Here's to you all, here's to life. Cheers! 🍻

[@debbiemize2269]

I really enjoyed watching this! I am a 5th generation Texan, and have lived in Corpus Christi, Waco, Houston, and now currently reside 45 miles northwest of Waco, 75 miles southwest of DFW! So many of these places I have seen, and there were a lot I didn’t know about! It is always great to see my state through someone else’s eyes.

[@Tricia-Tricia]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😄 As a fellow Texan, it's always exciting to discover new things about our incredible state. 🤠 From the bustling streets of Houston to the charming beauty of Waco, there's always something to explore. And you're right, seeing our state through someone else's perspective brings a fresh and exciting view. 🌟 Keep on discovering, my fellow Texan! 🌵🌞

[@deanna3301]

Amazingly blessed to travel with your dad to all those places. I'm grateful he's super healthy to go with you. Keep living out loud and on purpose. ❤

[@ThankfullyBlessed]

I’m just watching this for the first time. I’m a born & raised Texan but have never been to Dallas (expect for the Greyhound Bus stop on one of my travels). Not only did I enjoy your posted video visit BUT I loved your interaction with your Dad. Your dad is an amusing & amazing person. He really made me laugh when he “herded them cattle”. He’s my kind of people!!!🤗🫶🏻🙌🏼🙏

[@excelaficionado]

I have been watching you and your pops for years now. I love you guys. The relationship is so real and your dads so special and you are very obviously to him ❤ I was inspired and convinced my brother to help me drive my son to visit his grandma in Portland from Los Angeles and bring along our dad whom has Alzheimer’s, fully knowing tommorow he won’t remember the beautiful moments of the trip my son my brother and I will

Love this one, as I do all the Josh-n-Pops videos…now, being a native Texan born and bred, I am duty-bound to say: “WHAT THE HECK DO YOU MEAN, GIVING IN-N-OUT A 10, POPS??!!” 😂 Just kidding, I know Californians regard IN-N-OUT as highly as Texans do Whataburger. Anyway, I’ll be hitting up some of y’all’s BBQ recommendations. 👍🏼

[@ThroughMyLens]

haha ya In-N-Out is definitely a major debate point 😂

[@cgreen186]

And New Mexico has the best Christmas in the US. Christmas means Red and Green Chili here. Although I've been in many of TX places for BBQ and many In & Out in CA. But if you like great Mexican Food come to NM. I always look forward to your trips. Is a wonderful thing to see the great relationship between Father and Son...

Great trip. Nice season to visit. Wildflowers and not yet HOTTER THAN HELL. Glad you liked Houston's folk art. Come back for the Art Car Parade! And a bunch of fine breweries Our Fine Arts Museum is huge; free on Thursdays. The Menil is a gem of a Museum with many Surrealist works. Ideal for a short visit and always free! Fort Worth is Cowtown but had fine museums before Dallas did. Amon Carter endowed a museum to house his Remingtons. The cillectuon has expanded but the Western paintings are fine Now visit West Texas. Just note in the Summer...

I'm from Houston and this has places I've never heard of! People definitely know about the bat bridge, I just think it's underappreciated. If you're there during the right time, watching the hawks wat the bats that are eating the bugs, is cool. I'm watching for San Antonio section. The Houston Zoo is INCREDIBLE if y'all come back! Its ONE of only eight zoos ever to receive a perfect rating from the AZA and they look at EVERY aspect of the zoo from dining, cleanliness, to animal welfare, veterinary staff, etc. What absolutely fractured me was the way your Pops said, "Boudin." I've never heard it pronounced the way its spelled, it was precious. 😂 "Boo-dan" is how people from TX and LA say it. ❤ Also, I knew who Michael Nesmith was and I'm 36. 😂 Other places in Houston to visit: Underground Tunnels Showboat Drive In San Jacinto Monument 24 hour cupcake ATM Galveston Railroad Museum Viola and Agnes' in clear Lake near the Kemah Boardwalk.

Pops and I are close in age, I was in 4th grade and had the same sort of experience, school was let out after President Kennedy was shot. We had no idea of the magnitude, but the tv was on basically the entire weekend and it is something I will never forget. The sounds, the images, the incredible sadness of that weekend made an impression on everyone the lived it.

[@MamaBaer54]

I was in 4thgrade too. Same scenario. My mother took it really hard.

[@evelynwinchester4726]

Likewise, Pope and I are close in age and I remember Kennedy assassination much the same way as he did.

[@Jack-j3l7o]

Seventh-generation Texan here. Born in Dallas, grew up in Houston, went to school in Austin, and now living in San Antonio (with a short 25 year career in Hollywood thrown in somewhere in there). Pops is one cool dude. I got the "Michael Nesmith", "in situ" and other references, since he and I are of similar age. Really enjoy your videos, but the best thing of all is seeing a father and son traveling and experiencing life together. Wish to God I'd been able to do that with my dad, but hope to make up for it somewhat with my son someday while I still can, since he's turning eighteen this year. Anyway, you two have an obvious respect for Texas and understanding of its history, and made the trip interesting for even me...and I really appreciate you both.

My family has lived in Dallas since 1910. My mother took my brother, sister, and me to Love Field Airport to see President Kennedy. When he and Mrs. Kennedy came to greet the crowd we were about 10 feet from them. I was on a man's shoulders waving. I was above everyone in the crowd and one of the TV stations captured me in their film. I am in many of the documentaries about November 22, 1963. We were still at Love Field when we found out the President had been shot.

[@travelwithpops]

@montanawalsh8155 Wow what at story! That is quite a memory and amazing to have it in a documentary.
