This week on The Texas Bucket List we travel through time when we stop at the RV Museum, unhinge our jaws to eat a colossal crawfish burger, and learn about the retirement home that started the coastal retirement trend in Texas back in 1877.
Our fist stop may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Amarillo, but after seeing some rare RV’s full of era appropriate appliances, nick-knacks, and furniture you’ll never forget the RV Museum. The father son duo who started collecting back in the 1970’s have some pretty rare items including the oldest RV in the world on display in their 8,000 square foot metal building.
In Anahuac we sink our teeth into a crawfish burger made with a full pound of beef. The pound patty is paired with onions and jalapenos grilled in butter, deep fried bacon, fried crawfish, and cheese all stacked between a buttered bun. The taste is so phenomenal you won’t mind leaving a pound heavier.
We finish our trip in Rockport-Fulton at the first retirement house built on the coast in 1877, the Fulton Mansion. The home has withstood the test of time and coastal hurricane forces, and was built with some pretty high tech innovation for the day. Stepping into the stunning mansion is a great way to connect with coastal cattle baron history.
So don’t go kicking the bucket. This week’s episode is one you don’t want to miss!
