Bobby brother…you are living the dream baby! I look forward to someday going to a meet up and shaking the hand of the man who made lemonade out of freaking lemons!! Love how you’ve given all us worker bees a goal to aim for!! You The MAN!!
When Texas was needing a capitol building, 4 business men from Chicago made the legislature an offer to build the capitol in exchange for 3 million acres on Llano Estacado where they began the XIT ranch. XIT stands for "10 in Texas" because it covered 10 counties. In case you needed a tidbit of info here.
I live in Pflugerville, south of Round Rock and north of Austin so I live between a Rock and a weird place! They made the statue"s face that way so you could can see her features from way up on top of the capital and she looks attractive from way up there. Lady Bird Lake is part of the Colorado river that is controlled by a series of dams somehow making them lakes!
Great content. Enjoyed the video. You are both right. The boats are being rowed. The definition is , if you have one oar , you are rowing. If you use two oars , you are sculling.
Another great video Bobby! Just a quick correction on your Texas history, they Mexicans did not kill the women and children at the Alamo. They were allowed to leave which is how we got some of the details about what happened during the siege. Still an incredible heroic stand though.
FYI: Sculling is the use of oars to propel a boat by moving them through the water on both sides of the craft, or moving one oar over the stern. Wikipedia
Good video and content - hope you stay together and make it to the isle!!😎👍 ❤❤ what a blast to have the “event” at Willy T’s. My wife and are needing an excuse to get back to the BVI’s - peace and safe travels !!! ❤🎉❤🎉
Bobby, they didn't execute Santa Anna, they threatened to if he didn't sign the surrender which granted Texas independence. Santa Anna lived until 1855.
Six Flags over Texas in Dallas was a great amusement park in the early sixties it wasn't just about rollercoasters and rides it was 6 different areas one for each flag. The best was the Texas area where you rode in a stagecoach to get to the western town and watched a cowboy shoot out at the Longhorn saloon and other exhibitions. Very different from todays 6 Flags parks.
bobbys got a lot of history, but not 100% accurate. There is a painting in the capital of texas of Sam Houston the President of Texas meeting with Santa Anna after the battle of san jacinto where texians kicked mexico's butt in a battle, and they did NOT KILL SANTA ANNA. Santa Anna, the general was also the president of Mexico so Sam Houston actually had to intervene twice to prevent Santa Anna from being killed, and returned to Mexico. He got Santa back to mexico somewhat safely, and returned the army, and that act somewhat ensured that the country of texas would not be invaded again. The country of Texas had to sign a protection deal with England because Mexico was threatening them, but the army of Mexico never came back.
Lived in and played music (Charlie Sexton, Tail Gators) for years. Due to injury early retirement required. I left Austin, which I loved dearly, just before the demise. It sure isn't what it was but what is??? Ha! Love all of the "Doodles". Relocated to one of the quietest most friendly places in Colorado. Pagosa Springs. Love it.
There is a debate about the number of fighters at the Alamo. 186 seems to be the agreed upon number, but I have heard up to 220 as well. I first went to the Capital in Austn in 1966 as part of a school trip from San Antonio. It looks pretty much the same in your video. I don't go to Austin very much except to pass through. You are right about the traffic. It is terrible going through there on I-35. So terrible, you might as well stop and have lunch LOL. Maybe that was Austins plan all along LOL. They didn't execute Santa Ana Bobby. They actually let him go and he went back to Mexico. He was elected president of Mexico I believe twice. He was missing a leg when he attacked the Alamo from a previous battle as well. One more tid-bit is before the battle, the Mexicans played the tune El Deguello night and day to indicate the defenders would receive "no quarter". Everyone would die.
No tour of Austin downtown is complete without a visit to Scholz's Garten near the Capitol. There has probably been more Legislation written there over a few beers than at the Capitol....
bobby knows some but not all of texas history. It is an important point that General and PRESIDENT santa anna was not killed at san Jacinto. Sam Houston was an educated man, so he stopped his army from killing santa anna more than once and made sure he made it back to Mexico because Santa Anna was the president of Mexico. If Santa anna returns, then he has to recognize texas as a country. Before texas was just a coupe settlements. Legally texas was a colony of spain, alongside mexico, so mexico won its independence, then lost texas. Santa Anna left office in disgrace, moved to new york city, and conducted the business deal that brought chicklets gum to the USA. No shtt. Its actually super weird that NYC was like that, but Texas knows that all they do in New York is hore out to whoever has money regardless if they ordered the deaths of Texas prisoners in Goliad.... as santa anna did
While rowing is often the go-to terminology to encompass the sport, rowing often only refers to sweep rowing. Instead of using one oar like they would in sweep rowing, athletes may opt to compete in sculling events where they use two oars - one in each hand.
My several times great grandfather was the youngest soldier at the Battle of San Jacinto. Hey lied on his application saying he was 18 when he was only 16.
Retired Texas/American history/government teacher here. Great video, but only a C+ on Texas History. But since most history is taught by coaches in underfunded Texas education, it's not surprising.
every day a local austin business gives up and sells out. Most of the 1970's one of a kind businesses simply close their doors and sell the land their busienss sits on and they retire. The charm of austin is the local businesses. Dominoes tried to open a chain pizza in austin but nobody ever ordered any because everyone there goes to austin pizza, or south side pizza, or south congress? pizza? The charming small town austin is 80% gone
The Americans always lie to make themselves look better to the rest of the world but if they only knew 🤔 the world knows better and they're the laughing stock of the planet 😉
I think Bobby must have slept in parts of his Texas History class. A lot of what he said in the video is not accurate. Maybe he just got bits and pieces of the general narrative while he wasn’t napping. 😂
Can we brush up Glamping on some texas history? Thanks. So Sam Houston was running the show. Sam brought settlers to Texas, he was the commander of the army, and president, so when san antonio/alamo happened, sam retreated back to san Jacinto in a fake out to make it look like he was surrendering toward US protection, as well as he waited until the river trapped both armies. So General Santa anna died in the United States, but not how you think. Santa Anna was captured at the battle of San Jacinto, but sam the president of Texas understood what it means when you capture the president of another country, so they DID NOT KILL SANTA ANNA. Initially the soldiers wanted to kill santa anna, but Sam houston stopped them because there was something more important. So Sam Houston returned Santa Anna and his armies to Mexico in exchange for an agreement that the land was texas, and they were not going to invade texas anymore. Sam Houston eventually had to sign a protection agreement with ENGLAND because Santa Anna did not honor his word, and continued to threaten the country of texas with invasion. The battle cry at san Jacinto was "remember the alamo and goliad" because Santa Anna had executed prisoners of war, and there actually were a few prisoners from Goliad who had run off into the trees to avoid execution, and did actually fight at the battle of san jacinto. Thats a real tough MFer lesson in history first hand to escape mass execution and actually be part of the retribution battle. And Santa Anna died in the United States. He was rejected from Mexico after his presidency and he moved to the USA and brought chicklets gum to the USA. No fckn joke. Chicklets gum came to the USA in a business deal with the guy who killed off the Alamo, and ordered the mass execution of goliad.
Austin Texas is a hell hole! In the last 3 years crime has jumped 300%. Trash and homeless every where especially in the downtown area around 6th street. The only positive about Austin Texas is the live music scene is still very good at times. Everything else about the city is absolute trash! Real Estate high, Crime high, Traffic horrific (the worse in the state), Taxes high, Homeless high, Drugs high.. Every bad thing about a city you could think of is there in Austin Texas. What's even more surprising is that Austin is not even half the size of the Dallas or Houston metroplex's. The city is a trash can!
Austin is just like all the rest of the HELL HOLE cities in the United States. All the cities have one thing in common. All the cities have criminal DEMON-RAT mayors that are ruining the cities.
Bobby you're getting a little too old for nightclubs my friend 🤨 😁 the people around you in that short clip were in their early 20"s Amanda can still pull it off with those magical bazooka's 😍
These tour videos are awesome. Amanda brings so much to the table.
Great Video ! enjoyed learning Texas history especially the background on Six Flags !
Amanda seems to be about as chill and fun as a woman can be. Well done!
Bobby brother…you are living the dream baby! I look forward to someday going to a meet up and shaking the hand of the man who made lemonade out of freaking lemons!! Love how you’ve given all us worker bees a goal to aim for!! You The MAN!!
Austin looks like a fun place. 🙂
Dont move here

12:39 Sculling is rowing with 2 oars, sweeping is where each rower has 1 oar. Both are types of rowing. Sure is beautiful in Texas.
Great content. Enjoyed the video. You are both right. The boats are being rowed. The definition is , if you have one oar , you are rowing. If you use two oars , you are sculling.
Another great video Bobby! Just a quick correction on your Texas history, they Mexicans did not kill the women and children at the Alamo. They were allowed to leave which is how we got some of the details about what happened during the siege. Still an incredible heroic stand though.
Another great video guys . Thanks for taking us along . Cheers 🍻🍻
Amazing at how great your channels are and we are excited you have both Sailing and Glamping!
What a nice trip in Austin. I like the Capital grounds as well for a nice walk.
FYI: Sculling is the use of oars to propel a boat by moving them through the water on both sides of the craft, or moving one oar over the stern. Wikipedia
Good video and content - hope you stay together and make it to the isle!!😎👍 ❤❤ what a blast to have the “event” at Willy T’s.
My wife and are needing an excuse to get back to the BVI’s - peace and safe travels !!! ❤🎉❤🎉
The small museum at the base of the San Jacinto monument is pretty cool as well.
Bobby, they didn't execute Santa Anna, they threatened to if he didn't sign the surrender which granted Texas independence. Santa Anna lived until 1855.
santa anna moved to NYC after his presidency and brought chicklets gum to the USA. MFer NYC crowd always ready to do a deal with war criminals.
Correct sir 🫡
👍✅ Great visit to Austin, tks guys🤣

Thanks for the history lesson. Have fun guys
Great video - thank you for the history lesson on Texas - as a non U.S. person I was not familiar with how Texas came about
bobbys got a lot of history, but not 100% accurate. There is a painting in the capital of texas of Sam Houston the President of Texas meeting with Santa Anna after the battle of san jacinto where texians kicked mexico's butt in a battle, and they did NOT KILL SANTA ANNA.

Weird seeing Bobbie in black sunglasses 😎
Terry Black's BBQ... Life changing.
Santa Anna wasnt executed
that was a cool history lesion thank you
Take her to Barton Springs. I love to see her walk out of Barton's frame.
Welcome to Austin!!!!!
nice video, enjoyed it

This video was so cool! I love the singers inside the Capitol.
Great history lesson Bobby …for sure
Love this video from a felow Austinite. Hey Bobby, what is the model of your black helly Hansen jacket?
There is a debate about the number of fighters at the Alamo. 186 seems to be the agreed upon number, but I have heard up to 220 as well.

Rowing is the best sport !! Check out some of the world champs, but it's so competitive and requires such a level of team work!!
I'm dating myself but Amanda looked like Penelope Pitstop from the Hanna Barbara cartoon Wacky Racers, lol!😂😂😂
OMG
My dad had a T-6, served in Algeria - he restored it over a year
Great video!
No tour of Austin downtown is complete without a visit to Scholz's Garten near the Capitol.

Hmmm, was this shot on March 17?
Nice job Bobby on knowing our Texas history, Thank you!!

Cheers been there sir. Been to 26 cP buildings.

Love Austin
6th
Agreed
I normally don’t make a comment, but The history lesson was fantastic.
Are the white sunglasses reserved for the boat?
Love your videos
Do you guys ever cook yourselves? I always hear you say “we go out for diner”.
Wow, guess I am the first...😄😄...great job showing Austin guys!!!!...love it!!..good job..congrats!!❤❤
While rowing is often the go-to terminology to encompass the sport, rowing often only refers to sweep rowing. Instead of using one oar like they would in sweep rowing, athletes may opt to compete in sculling events where they use two oars - one in each hand.
I think this Amanda, maybe the one for Bobby, both from Texas
If one person is using one oar it's rowing if one person is using two oars one either side of the boat it's Sculling.
A few years ago on Sailing Doodles Bobby declared that he would only wear white frame sunglasses.
That was a cool video love the history añ how the still fly the Confederate flag and still have there memorials
Oh man crazy thought. What if the other girl hates school and comes back?
Austin is the New York City of the west
Rowing on a sliding seat is a huge leg workout.
My several times great grandfather was the youngest soldier at the Battle of San Jacinto. Hey lied on his application saying he was 18 when he was only 16.
I think Amanda fell asleep during your history lesson Bobby. ~~/)~~
Retired Texas/American history/government teacher here. Great video, but only a C+ on Texas History. But since most history is taught by coaches in underfunded Texas education, it's not surprising.
Santa Anna wasn’t excuted.
Yeah, he lived to like 82 yrs old... had become President of Mexico after the Alamo...
The Americans always lie to make themselves look better 🙄 they're the laughing stock of the world
Tennessee: "You're welcome" 😁
Cal is moving in unfortunately.
Austin is great, coming from a Dutchy.. Every stay I had there was just awesome, But I hear it changed for the worse?
every day a local austin business gives up and sells out. Most of the 1970's one of a kind businesses simply close their doors and sell the land their busienss sits on and they retire. The charm of austin is the local businesses. Dominoes tried to open a chain pizza in austin but nobody ever ordered any because everyone there goes to austin pizza, or south side pizza, or south congress? pizza? The charming small town austin is 80% gone
Santa Anna wasn't executed. He died in his home in Mexico City at the age of 82 (1876)
The Americans always lie to make themselves look better to the rest of the world but if they only knew 🤔 the world knows better and they're the laughing stock of the planet 😉
The ladyman statue is very progressive.
Keep it up guys👍😎
One oar=rowing, two oars=sculling/skiffing
Amanda must of gotten a few horn blasts from truckers.
so, they changed TOWN LAKE to Lady Bird Lake....??? didn't know that....
locals call it the colorado river, austin lake, and even green belt. Theres no telling what its called
I think Bobby must have slept in parts of his Texas History class. A lot of what he said in the video is not accurate. Maybe he just got bits and pieces of the general narrative while he wasn’t napping. 😂
Austin died when shady grove died … bring back shady grove 😊
Amanda the helmet is not stupid its to protect your pretty little head , you look just fine, better than Bobby in helmet
Austin used to be fun back in the early 90s,don't think I would recognize it now.
That confederate flag is the battle flag, not the Confederate States of America flag.
Santa Anna's life was ultimately spared, but he was exiled to Cuba.
...and he invented chewing gum.
no, he went to NYC, and brought Chicklets gum to the USA
OK! Catch me up please-where’s the WHITE SUNGLASSES?
🚍🚌🛵⚓🚤⛵
👍🏼👍🏻💙❤

Sorry to hear that. Sounds familiar to other cities. Especially the homeless part, and all the crap that comes with that (literally).
Austin is just like all the rest of the HELL HOLE cities in the United States. All the cities have one thing in common.
All the cities have criminal DEMON-RAT mayors that are ruining the cities.
You only need to look at who runs that city, and what the difference is between them and the rest of Texas and the reason becomes pretty clear, lol.
GD makes a nice alternative to SD and shows a different side to Bobby and Amanda seems interested.
This is mostly false. It's not a hell hole. It's still a nice place to live. Political BS
This isn't true. Austin hasn't been the fastest growing city for a while.
There is nothing good about getting drunk. Drinking doodles returns.
Unless you’re a drunk
austin was ruined a long time ago
yea, that lady kinda looks like Trump. sorta.....
Show the real Austin
Bobby you're getting a little too old for nightclubs my friend 🤨 😁 the people around you in that short clip were in their early 20"s Amanda can still pull it off with those magical bazooka's 😍
They are Sculling!
