    So happy to finally see a video on Bradenton that is not from a real estate agent. Best of all it s from you two. Can t wait to see what you have planned for your next videos. Excellent video
  • @ThereandBeck
    A town you don’t hear about as much as the others. We have friends who live there and love it! 😊 Love following along guys!
  • @user-gh8sl7iu3y
    Heading to Lake Manatee for Thanksgiving. Thanks for the recommendations. Wish there was more to do & see closer to the Lake.
  • @gmpny3945
    Thank you for sharing this wonderful tour of Brandenton. The walk through the nature preserve made me feel like I was on vacation. The weather here on Long Island hasn't been ideal lately, so seeing blue Florida skies and sunshine was a welcome sight!
  • I love how thorough your videos are and HONEST! Also makes me realize that I am missing so many fun opportunities across this great state. So much easier to plan a day trip with your videos! Thank you!!!
  • We are so excited to visit Bradenton this upcoming Jan./Feb. 2024. Thanks for your video.
  • @newoldsteel
    That trail is so awesome along with the tower! Not sure what bridge that was WAAAY in the distance but was so cool to see. And oh yea, those trails look like a BLAST on a bicycle 😁
  • @Shartlyfartly
    My dad lives in Bradenton we always go to tide tables, great seafood and views
  • @MrTmiket0007
    Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always 👍🤗
  • @balto4
    LOVED this video,I've never spent time in Bradenton and it's def on my list now thanks to this video. The Robinson Preserve looks beautiful
  • @reallyria1
    Thanks for the great tips! We are moving to Bradenton in a few months and look forward to checking out your recommendations. Your calm thorough guides make us feel less nervous about leaving the Midwest and make us feel like we will be able to find our way around. Keep up the great work!
  • That's absolutely great and awesome vidz my friend. Keep it up and more vidz to come.
  • @tarac5137
    I lived in Bradenton eight years before moving to St. Pete a few weeks ago. :-) The original loop at Robinson is good to do by bike. There is a little spur trail in the northwest area (foot only) that that takes you though the woods on a single track. I'd add Kefi Streetside Cafe, Sage Biscuit, Grandma Wan's Thai Mix (food truck), the fish markets in Cortez (Star Fish Co and Cortez Bait and Seafood), Uncle Nick's, Cremesh, Motorworks, DeSoto National Monument. Thanks for the great videos!
  • Another fantastic video! We never thought to explore Bradenton....we always just thought of it as a way to get onto AMI! Would now love to explore this area more the next time we travel south. Hope you're feeling better Jamie and thanks for the informative and fun video! Looking forward to the next one already! 🙂
  • @bennk7767
    Another awesome video guys. I especially liked the music that you choose for it, so chill.
  • @BobCarlson
    Talk about a timely video. I’ve spent the last 2 days looking at Bradenton videos for a stop on the way back from Longboat next month. You have by far the best one. Especially your coverage of Robinson preserve. I would stop just for that seafood salad. We may need to book a hotel to get all that walking in.
  • Thank you so much! Going to Bradenton this winter! Can't wait to visit Turner Donuts and the rooftop at Oak and Stone!! Hope your back is healing.
  • @bmxican1023
    Love this video!!! Moved to Bradenton recently and can’t wait to hit these spots!
  • @JH-ht8vr
    Thank you for this video. I am looking to move to the Sarasota/Manatee County area, and was writing Bradenton off my list...I think now I should reconsider!
