    Mikey you look 100% Texan and a natural in your cowboy hat. You both look lovely. No one would ever know that you were not born and raised there if they did not hear your very British accent. Which is also very cool and unique. ♥

    Without the accents, you look like native Texans, says a Michigan native. You guys look great in your hats! Looking forward, as always, to future videos, esp. Terry Blacks. Again, welcome to the USA. Proud you are here!

    Mikey and Tasha, from a native Texan, you both look super in your cowboy hats and ya'll did well in getting what typically is the correct hat for the season. Felt cowboy hats which both you have are typically pulled out for wear in autumn through winter and straw cowboy hats for spring and summer season, but, you can wear which ever you feel best in, great job. We welcome you with open arms, heart, and love. Lots of love from a native Texan.

    The best Restaurant in Fort Worth near the stockyards is Joe T. Garcias!!! You MUST try it closer to May or June. Gives you another reason to ho back to Fort Worth. The Fort Worth zoo is the best in Texas as is the Cowgirl Museum, botanical Gardens. There is a Steam train that goes fro Grapevine Texas to the Stockyards too.
    For hiking, go to the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge. You guys passed the Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas. Great for mid spring to the end of june.

    You both look great in your hats!! Maybe push it down a little more on your head if you can... the plaid shirt is perfect!! Tasha definately looks like a Texas girl!! Love her boots and her hat fits perfect!!!
    I was born and raised in rural Texas. A life event took me to Oklahoma when I was 40. At least I'm still more or less rural.

    As a native Fort Worthian (no idea you guys were here!) I've got to say Fort Worth and Dallas are two different cities and don't touch each other. There is about 30 miles and cities between Dallas and FW. Happy you guys had a great time, hope you come up when we have better weather! We have fantastic museums and imo the best Zoo in the country...in fact some national publication agreed not long ago.

    Dallas and Fort Worth are separate cities but due to their close proximity to one another, the area is referred to as the Dallas Ft. Worth Metroplex, or simply DFW for short.

    • @courtneyraymer6586

      Many moons ago they were separated by Arlington, but now they’re just one big sprawl. I think the DFW airport sits on what was once Arlington. Maybe that can help Mikey and Tasha get their geographical bearings. Our maps don’t always keep up.

Not sure how much you know about college football, but Texas and Oklahoma is one of the biggest and oldest games and it’s nothing but disdain and bitterness. Soooo much fun!! 😂

    Soon as you said your hotel was next to a Rudy's I knew exactly where it was XD I lived pretty close to there in Keller now I live in Granbury but I'm in Fort Worth a lot. My Papaw (grandfather) worked in the meat packing plant that is on the hill above the Stockyards that you can see from the maze/Riskys Barbecue which was directly behind you in the very first clip of the Stockyards!

  • @hardtackbeans9790
    @hardtackbeans9790 10 місяців тому +1

    The Stock Yards is a fun place. Right across from where you watched the cattle drive is where you can mount a horse for your own trail ride too. There are some shops in the back areas that aren't so expensive or touristy. Can't tell you are a Brit at all. Some make an artform out of how you wear a hat. But it doesn't matter.

    • @jbm0866
      @jbm0866 10 місяців тому

      Sundance Square just a short walk (or even shorter drive) directly south of the Stockyards is great in spring, early summer and late fall. (little too hot in July/August) outdoor music and movies, tons of restaurants/bars and shopping for more than tourist trinkets. Even some small museums as well. It's the place to be for safe adult nightlife (as in 35 and up) while the younger crowd prefers the West 7th entertainment district on the west side of the Trinity river.
