No need to apologize for hitting up the Cheesecake Factory. I’ve lived in a town without one nearby for the last 20 years and if I was tired and there were twenty fancy restaurants to choose from, I’d probably choose the Cheesecake Factory. The food is delicious and you know what you’re getting. Hope you enjoyed our Capitol!
Cheers Sir and the Mrs. , happiest of travels and don’t sweat what’s posted in the comments ! These people need to be glad your posting at all - Respectfully thanks for sharing your journey !! ❤
Grew up in Baltimore. My uncle helped build the tunnel you drove through. Moved to San Diego from Spring City. I'd get coffee and gas at the WaWa across from the Kilt store and often hike the trail next to the bridge you opened with. DC has changed a lot since I knew it in the 60's and 70's and 80's. All a long ass way of saying that was great fun and, thanks. This one was kind of like home movies.
So, birds, like people, have schedules to keep and shit to do everyday. In the morning, they have their morning meeting, and maybe to a few practice laps in their parking lot of choice, then during the day, they forage, and at night they come back for flight school. They do this every day, across all species. It's all very regimented and organized. You can almost set your watch by it.
I live in a small town in northern Wisconsin. People here know me for wearing kilts. There are a few other people that I met that wear them "all the time". I have worn a kilt while traveling for the past several years, and people are always wanting to get a picture with me. Sometimes people put on a fake Scottish accent and ask me silly questions. One time a man approached me at an airport with a real good "fake accent" and asked me about the kilt. Turns out his accent was real. He was from Scotland. I love wearing a kilt. I have several lesser expensive to wear about day to day, and a fancy one I got in St Andrew for special occasions. I also just got another one from a company called Damn Near Kilt'em. It's green for St Patrick's Day. My mother's side is from Scotland and my dad's side is from Ireland.
Shaun you have some great adventures. You’ll have many stories to tell your children and grandchildren. Thank you for reminding us of our heritage and our legacy, the began in Scotland. Safe travels🇺🇸🏴🥰
Please know that I enjoy your vids very much. I find it most facinating that you are so set with America and like it here. I have neve known a Scottman from your country but Years ago had an encounter with a gentleman from Edinburgh at a Highland event here in the US representing Kilts sales. Very nice with great humor and like you - much expression in his voice while speaking. Left me with a very good impression of people from your country. I view it like we are all interested in places different from where we live. Glad you are here and enjoying your visit.
We visited Scotland in 2019 and attended the Military Tattoo in Edinburgh and St Andrews. The tattoo was amazing! And being a golfer St. Andrews was quite a treat.
Great video Shaun! Really enjoyed it. Love the kilt and the food looked great! Loooking forward to the next video you post from D.C. Hope you and Teka have a great week ahead and God bless!
When I was studying architectural drafting in 1986 in Seattle I was tasked with studying and sketching job sites. I spent a bit of time sketching what is now 1201 3rd AVE in downtown Seattle which is now a major skyscraper here. They preserved a corner of a turn of the century brick building facade, so just the outer brick on the lower NW corner on 2nd. They had to erect a lot of steel scaffolding to keep it intact while they built the new building into it.
Here's the strange thing. If you see a guy walking around in a leather Kilt, that means that there is a Comic Book convention close to where you are. The leather Kilt is the uniform of choice for hardcore comic book guys.
I've been wearing kilts and playing bagpipes for upwards of 50 years now. When we lived in Denver, Colorado, my wife and I would often celebrate after a gig at our favorite Mexican restaurant. More fun than Waffle House!
Stocked trout means the local government has released a large amount of trout bred from stocks in government facilities. It’s to help replenish the lost trout in the local ecosystem. Honestly these look exactly the same brown with spots but these stocks don’t really have much genetic diversity meaning it’s all the same type of fish. They are a fun fish to catch but releasing it back is what you should do. You should find the other two species of trout (rainbow and Speckled) as they look better and are great eating fish within the limits of course.
Next time you go to DC, try to find Penguin6 - His name is Andrew and he walks, bikes, or drives around DC every day, videoing and blogging. It would be awesome if you met him!
Hipsters have already gone to those places in a "kilt". Perhaps you are the first current Scottish subject to wear a kilt in those places. Regardless, I love your content!!
Shawn, you need to visit Baltimore Maryland and try our steamed crabs. Also Baltimore and Maryland as a whole are rich in history from one of the first settlements, the Revolutionary War, Civil War, the first railroad, home of the Star Spangled Banner and so much more.
If you drove from Maryland to Wash DC it was probably on 14th Street where you saw those houses. My husband grew up in a house in the area on the DC side, and we lived in the Maryland side.
Son, you have more guts than I have. I don't think that I would care to drive a car in a foreign country, not knowing the rules of the road 100%. As you can see by my name, I have Scottish heritage. Ain't wearing a kilt either.🇺🇸
Hi Shaun, I started watching your channel years ago. I've always loved you. I remember you first came here to U.S. to help figure out why Americans love their guns and gun culture here. I'd just like to ask, with everything going on in the world, do you understand now why Americans will not give up their guns?
Don't be hard on yourself about the Cheesecake Factory decision. It's a GOOD decision especially if you're tired and hungry - it's something familiar to you!
Shawn...what kind of an idiot does not like the Cheesecake Factory? It is marvelous! Be safe and enjoy! Love the kilt! (sign me from the middle of California, a fan)
Yeah, the houses surrounded by the office building and parking deck, that happens a lot in the United States. Here, if the homeowner doesn't want to sell, they can't be forced to by a private developer. The most famous case of this happened in New York to Donald Trump. He tried to force an elderly couple out of their house to build a property, and he couldn't. So they built around the house.
You know you are amongst family and friends when you can wear a kilt inside America and no one bats 'an eye and acts like it's a common thing... [Cause basically it is a common thing inside America...]
The contemporary building built over the two historical buildings is actually the Mexican embassy. The historical buildings were homes from the 1700s and now are just facades. The interior of the embassy includes the contemporary and historical buildings. The historical buildings were gutted and inside the contemporary and historical buildings are one.
You made the comment that you thought Wafle Houses were only in the South...That Wafle House you were was in Maryland?? Well that is the South..The dividing line between the North and South is the Mason Dixon line.. which is the border between Pennsylvania and Maryland.. Cheers and carry on..
I live in Kansas City and kilts are not so uncommon that anyone would have a problem seeing a man anywhere in a kilt. Most men I know well have a kilt (though it may no longer fit). The only people looking are wondering if your plaid is better than theirs or wondering why they can't get their guy in a kilt. Ha! Many do not have a sgian dubh in their sock (my son wouldn't wear his kilt without it). Enjoy the US. If you're ever in the area, would love to show you both around KC.
People can just s#*%k it, Shaun. Eat where you wish. Really recommend the Navajo, if the menu has it ( chicken breast, lettuce, red onion, and tomato on Native American fry bread). If not, the Skinnylicious turkey burger works, comes with a salad, and leaves you a bit of room for cheesecake (so far, my fav is the choc hazelnut crunch. But I haven't tried them all. If I keep going 1x every 3 yrs, I might make it through all of them before I die! 😄)
Cheesecake Factory is great. On to another topic though. It makes me sad that you can no longer go inside the White House. It's been a good while since I've been to D.C. but I was able to go on the White House tour three different times. It was a really nice tour and I'm sorry people don't get to do that anymore. All because some awful people can't behave.
I was looking at Millport on Google street view and on the corner of Stuart Street and Cardiff street....it looks like you ( camera and all! ) from 2021....Is it you ?
Shaun, please forgive any ignorance on the part of my fellow Americans regarding your kilt, which superficially resembles a woman's skirt. We have no mens clothing here that corresponds to a kilt and so some people who don't understand that a kilt is a man's garment in Scotland might think you were 'cross dressing.' I'm embarrased for my countrymen who aren't aware of the difference. I hope this latest U. S. trip was enjoyable for you both. Blessings--Don
MY state Maryland. I live 30 miles NW of Washington DC. Was raised 5 miles from Washington DC in Maryland. I think the Monument got hit by an earthquake in 2011. I felt it too, 30 miles NW of the city.
Kilts and skirts were in fact men's apparel until the mid 1500's when they slowly began to creep into women's fashions. These clothing items were originally for men only, specifically soldiers. The military of many countries: Ireland, Scotland, Greece, Egypt, Italy, and many countries in Central Asia wore them to fight their enemies. So when you see a woman wearing a skirt or kilt just remember they are wearing men's clothes. As for pants, surprisingly a queen in Central Asia created them for both her female soldiers and her male ones as well. The trousers were brightly patterned to confuse the enemy, and eventually caught on in Europe. However, the females of that continent saw them as silly garments, and continued to were long robes, and dresses instead.
DC does have good local food, but it's more difficult to find than in San Francisco so I'll give you a pass on the Cheesecake Factory this time! 😂 I know how it feels to be exhausted and hungry after a long day on the road, so you just pick something that doesn't require a lot of thought. It's funny that in the US, seeing a dude wearing a kilt is probably the only time someone would feel ok asking for a "waist down only" picture from a stranger!

Amazing how you went to almost every place in America 🇺🇸 in a kilt

Excellent job Shaun! Hope you and the lass got to see The Smithsonian Museum, in D.C.? You can be in there for days, before you could see everything!
That cheesecake looked delicious !!! IMO they have some of the best cheesecake.

PA is just beautiful. Love your kilt.
Technically Maryland is in the South. (Below the Mason Dixon Line)

I noticed you got a DC serenade during your visit. I'm talking about the sirens.
It's your trip. Eat where you want! 👍
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us! 🙂
In America, CHICKS DIG A KILT.
Is that the American Dream kilt? Mighty good looking tartan if I do say so myself.
There are so many amazing monuments and museums, most of which are free in DC.
Shaun, you do you, never mind what others criticize. Just enjoy your trip.
Glad you had another great time!!
Great Video my Friend 😀👍
I didn't have any dinner and that cheesecake looked really good. I know you are enjoying your adventure. Thanks for this newest installment.
Here's the strange thing. If you see a guy walking around in a leather Kilt, that means that there is a Comic Book convention close to where you are. The leather Kilt is the uniform of choice for hardcore comic book guys.
Interesting. Where I live in Montana we see khaki "hunters' kilts."
@@loisavci3382 Yeah, they wear the khaki kilts as well because they have a lot of pockets.
Have fun!
Dude your awesome very cool 😎
The leather jacket looks great with the kilt! Good god, that cheesecake looked amazing, ill have to try that
So proud to seeing your wearing your kilt, Shaun. USA Kilts is my kiltmaker, too!
Thanks, Pip!
You,re very brave wearing that around .
It is called the Washington Monument.
I've been wearing kilts and playing bagpipes for upwards of 50 years now. When we lived in Denver, Colorado, my wife and I would often celebrate after a gig at our favorite Mexican restaurant. More fun than Waffle House!
Love it!
Both of us are chefs, & believe me when I tell you we do the thing. It's usually good.
Love how much you enjoy the US. My country is yours ❤️👊☮️🙏😎🔥

DC isn’t a foodie city - at least not to the extent that San Francisco is!

I'd eat at the cheesecake factory too! I have to drive an hour to get to one. That's a great looking kilt! Love to you and Teka 💜

SWEEEET!!! Kilt at the White House! Have you had the chance to see Abraham Lincoln yet?
I love Cheesecake factory! Thanks for the tour.
You know we gotta know, with or without bloomers?!❤
Your in Maryland u we’re about 10 miles before you crossed the Susquehanna river on that long bridge on 95
You didn't go to Amish town and see the old Germans? Very welcoming people!
Son, you have more guts than I have. I don't think that I would care to drive a car in a foreign country, not knowing the rules of the road 100%. As you can see by my name, I have Scottish heritage. Ain't wearing a kilt either.🇺🇸
Next time you are in DC give some more warning! I can give you better suggestions. Oh and DC isn't that much of a foodie city.
Y’all need to get off the interstate and get on some back roads. That’s where you will get the flavor!
The Cheesecake Factory is good consistently, so zero shame for getting a good meal. Especially when tired
Hope you noticed those "American-size restaurant portions"!

They are Starlings, they're invasive here in the US.
I haven’t seen your videos in awhile. I see your in America how long have u been here?
Waffle House is only eaten at 4am when your half way into a blackout lol

What ? He`s gone to the Hoose wearing a kilt whilst many Americans would swear that there is currently a Moos and that Hoose.
Who's here from Channel 5's terrible travelling programme?
👇
Maryland is the northern part of the South.
I can't recall the places I've visited in a kilt, but hiking is an option. My other links not showing up in side menu this time.
Staples for sure, and the Post Office and such...
I explore kilt SHOPPING in America, anyway.
Mansions is probably Bethesda, not DC.
More barricades than after 9-11, huh? Hmm...
The waffle has 2 locations near me in Ohio.
Get outta town 😀😀 you've arrived at the colonies good, better, or not best. Omgosh.
I was looking at Millport on Google street view and on the corner of Stuart Street and Cardiff street....it looks like you ( camera and all! ) from 2021....Is it you ?
Probably not as I wasn’t there in 21 😅
@Shaun is definitely a vlogger...have a look
@@shaunvlog It sounds like it's time for you two to come back again!!
React to the Star Spangled Banner like you have never known ? Baltimore was big in the War of 1812.

Love waffles but have never been to a Waffle House. I’ve been to IHOP a couple of times in my 20s.
A completely different vibe between the two
I'll bet you didn't know that 34 former US Presidents have had Scottish ancestors.
When r you moving too America
Waffle House is one of the few food places open late at night. Good when traveling.
Do you have a reservation?
Been missing you...I was unsubscribed again.😡 ...

Well, If you like Waffle House, you're going to really like IHOP.
