Am I a Real Cowboy?


The morning was kicked off with a Texas sized meal of blueberry pancakes, eggs and crispy bacon at Ye Old Pancake Station.

Then we headed to Boots N’ Jeans in Amarillo, TX to get the necessary disguises to continue heading into the Wild West, we needed to be outfitted with the right gear. . .


Chris settled on a black felt hat. He’ll be your Huckleberry.



Mark picked up a white straw hat with light brown trim that fits right for the summer season.


Matt grabbed a sharp cream palm hat with a customized brown hat belt. The saleswoman was so taken by the way he looked in his hat that she asked for his email address (so Boots N’ Jeans could send him future specials).




Brendan dug deep to his inner explorer and found a dark brown Indiana Jones hat that spoke to his heart.

We also picked up some light cotton cowboy patterned Wrangler shirts with pearl snaps to further fit in as we travel into the frontier.

Next Stop: Santa Fe, New Mexico and Mesa Verde National Park
