Day Trip to Midland 🛢 (FULL EPISODE) S10 E9

Midland is more than just wide open spaces and an endless sea of natural resources, it's a beacon that stands tall as the Texas spirit. Spend a day here and you'll find it's also flowing with endless adventures.
Inside the Petroleum Museum, you’ll find amazing interactive displays about the history of oil in the Permian Basin - you’ll even see the Chapparral Race Car, which forever changed both the racing and auto industries. Outside is the largest collection of drilling rigs in the world.
Tour this little house that was home to some BIG Texas personalities: two presidents, two governors and a first lady. Check out George W. Bush’s childhood room in the early 1950s…and you can even see the Bush’s bushes.
At Heroes Meals, you’re guaranteed a meal you won’t find anywhere else in Midland - or West Texas for that matter. Homemade Iraqi food is served up with hand-mixed teas, making for one flavorful meal. If you’re not sure where to start, I suggest the combo shawarma and Jamaican tea with fresh pineapple and ginger.
Sweeten up your day trip with a stop at Susie’s. What started as a small pecan grove on the south forty acres of a friend’s ranch, became home to Susie’s homemade toffee and famous Texas Trash ,a tasty mixture of white chocolate, cereal, pecans and pretzels.
After a long day, grab a cold one at this greenhouse-turned-beer garden. When hunger strikes, you can get some grub at the food trailer onsite. A ground brisket burger and homemade jalapeno poppers with “angry mayo” are the way to go.
Sandwiched between the derricks and Interstate 20 is one of Midland’s best kept secrets - a natural wetland teeming with birds and plant life. This 100-acre wild space is an awesome place to spend the afternoon getting lost.

My favorite part of midland is the sky and the fact that it’s a desert. We get some beautiful sunsets.

[@xxtoptigerxx8758]

Facts!!

[@kalistystarr5375]

I love how I lived in midland for most my life, and never heard of any of those food places he went to lol. 😂

[@King_Tone]

Midland is small though, how?

[@mistervacation23]

Do you remember the Loop 250 truck stop?

[@Spanky_nuenaz10]

@@King_Tonetheirs barely anything to do here, all we have is the mall and movie theaters and that’s pretty much it

[@King_Tone]

@@Spanky_nuenaz10 Same with Odessa. Except our movie theaters are going outta business and crime is through tha roof.

[@xxtoptigerxx8758]

Dude fr same!

[@blvrryvhs]

This is so amazing, I’m a videographer for my school here in Midland, it’s so cool to see our city paired with such great video production, love this documentary style so much, you and your team are a huge inspiration

[@user-fv5ms4sz8e]

I've been to the oil museum but had no idea the Bush house was available for viewing? What a nice find. This was a really good show. Good job. 👏

[@Lukepannell14]

As a midlander misd has you take foiled trips to the Bush House as a history class

[@katm5903]

I've spent most of my life there and never went. Now that I just moved away, I feel like a dufus. Lol

[@cameraman655]

Poor ol’ Midland (and Odessa) get little love, even from fellow Texans, but I like it, not certain why…

[@seniormasterghostshadow5923]

Lol.. glad to see ya put a face lift in our old town.. born raised, left then to come back to this dry dusty place I call home.. stay well and vigilant. 💯🇺🇸😎🌪🌎

[@jimkinkade6919]

My son moved to Lamesa. We visited Midland several times and didn’t realize how much was there!

[@ttumb0]

I live here in Midland but never been to Heroes Meal definitely gonna try it

[@kevinrice7663]

I like how you put a little bit of full metal jacket in your falafel 🤣🤣👍🤘👊

[@halfinchholes88]

Pre comment. So help me, if you don't stop at the Petroleum Museum and see the Chapparal car collection!... Holy Moly, 'right out of the gate'! We stopped in last year, and impressed. Thank you for the videos! Daytripper!!

[@blaketaylor7317]

Not sure what it is about midland and west Texas in general but I love it. Maybe cause I was born there but idk just something about it that I love

[@nickman0303]

Chet i look forward to ya'lls videos. And the costume changes. Love it.

[@xxtoptigerxx8758]

Dude what an awesome video. Best vid of Midland I've ever seen. Can't believe how much hidden history we got here haha..

[@carlosalbertocorrea6047]

Maravilhoso lugar e o Texas

[@JoseRamos-gv2om]

Midland was previously Midway. More or less, same distance to Austin, Amarillo, El Paso and Dalas. I live in Midland because of work, but travel to other Texas destinations for fun.

[@kmaher1424]

The "humble" Bush family? Dad went to Yale. When they moved to Houston, W went to Kincaid but could not meet admission standsrds for St John's. So he attended Phillips in Andover MA as a legacy....

[@CuriousEarthMan]

Really nice, thank you! Good info before I visit :)

[@emilywoodard2606]

I live here and am confused why anyone would want to come here for fun… most of us are trying to get out

[@Koleton100]

Same here

[@yolirankin9733]

New places to eat! (I’m in Odessa) 👍🏻👍🏻

[@user-fv5ms4sz8e]

I was raised in Odessa. Midland's glory days have long since passed. However, if you like Mexican food, there's more taco shops than you can shake it stick at.

[@trevorboyd2715]

Lol

[@joshuaswopes9529]

Hi born and raised in midland. And 100% agree. The Mexican food is amazing. Besides that everyone I’ve known that was born here leaves as soon as they can afford to. It’s good if your looking for oil field money, but expect to work 85 hr a week and have no life. So if your a family man that doesn’t mind getting dirty your good.

[@user-gz5yf1xy3s]

Midland food is trash you obviously don't know good food

[@spartanswerve7575]

Beg to differ. Its best days have only begun.

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

​@joshuaswopes9529 my adopted son, works in the oil fields in Midland

[@kikovenegas1325]

[@Lovemeordont]

I love it here it is so cool and there is so much oil we live there it is so cool and I went we’re you were❤

[@freeheartnow]

That was fun!

[@davidcause9942]

Fantastic tour. A great part of Texas.

[@elitesniper7903]

I live here its not great it's depressing

[@stonecold8502]

Its not great at all. West texas is one of the worst places to live in Texas, hell, maybe even in the whole U.S. You cant even safely drive down the street because of all the drunk drivers, and cuban big rig drivers.

[@gilbertjaramillo8735]

Wish I had some of those delicious looking food dishes.

[@OvergrownWithTheMoss]

This whole channel screams PBS

Day trip?? Midland?? 3 day..😊

[@onceawesterner]

6:37 “One family would emerge from Midland one of the most influential in the world, even though they started from quite humble roots…” George H.W. Bush’s father was a U.S. senator…

[@onceawesterner]

Also: the two best restaurants in Midland (Mr. Chip’s and the Garlic Press) shut down right before you came out here.

[@adrianvillegas8622]

[@SmokesWorld]

Bro c'mon! You come to good ol Midland and go to a restaurant no one evens knows about in Midland? lol but the rest of the video was dope tho. Good stuff

[@johnnyborquez2120]

[@williamzee7748]

As well as the Robert J. Zonne jr. Vietnam memorial and the plaque dedicated to Robert J. Zonne sr who was school board President and built Midland Lee High School where Hap Sharp ( race car driver) and Ben Crenshaw ( golfer) and George Bush sr. ( President) often visited to help in developing Midland. The Bush house was yellow on the corner across from Don Proctor House and Dr. Charles Younger with Laura Welsh Bush down off Bedford st. In Midland.

So boring here 😭😭😭

[@bracken.g8488]

no i hate this place, no scenery, same weather year round, city is very small once you get familiar with it, food sucks for the most part, there is nothing to do because they took down all the places that were enjoyable, only reason people live here is for oil field and any other reason is a bullshit reason and youll want to leave

[@tranquil14738]

A lot of food is good ion know what ur talking about, but that’s abt it unless ur after oil jobs imo
