In this episode, we’re diving deeper into the laughs, adventures, and life lessons that made this Texas family roadtrip one of our most unforgettable experiences. We kick things off at KidZania in Frisco, where the boys stepped into real-world roles, pilots, construction workers, yogurt makers, and more. This stop on our Texas family roadtrip was all about learning through play and giving the kids a glimpse of grown-up life. And yes, Jay was definitely a little jealous he couldn’t join in. Next, our first family trip to Texas took us to the legendary Fort Worth Stockyards. From feeding goats to trying on cowboy boots and navigating a wild interactive maze, this part of the journey was full of energy, surprises, and a whole lot of Carter living his cowboy dream. We also went horseback riding at Benbrook Stables, where the calm, wide-open spaces gave us a chance to slow down and connect. If you’re planning your own Texas family roadtrip, we break down how to book, what it costs, and why this was one of our most meaningful stops. Our crew couldn’t resist a sweet tooth showdown, so of course our Texas family roadtrip included Dirty Dough, Crumbl, and Insomnia Cookies. Carter, with his egg allergy, found safe ways to join the fun—and we share tips for allergy-friendly travel treats. And what’s a Texas family roadtrip without a spontaneous stop? We rolled up to the Dude Perfect headquarters—while the guys weren’t there, just being on-site was a dream moment for the boys. We also keep it real about tolls, 66 of them in 11 days, and share what you need to know about the hidden costs of a Texas family roadtrip that most people don’t talk about. If you’re a parent looking for travel ideas that are fun, flexible, and full of heart, this Texas family roadtrip episode is for you. No theme parks, no crazy crowds—just real moments, honest reviews, and a whole lot of family love.
