Huge temperature change on Saturday after rain Friday night. We awoke to 58 degrees - gray and dreary. What to do? I had an ulterior lunch motive, but first we decided to walk around the Fort Worth Stockyards. We walked into the stables and here's a warning - basically beware of horses. I stayed in the middle of the barn lanes and let Ray pet the equine. (See Old Buttercup chapter from my book My Zoo World, and you'll know why I steer clear)
We did enjoy the cattle mosey at 11:30 am. The very first time we ever saw this I expected a cattle stampede, but no - it's a leisurely stroll down Exchange Street. Plenty of tourists and it's fun to watch.
And lunch - www.cheftimlove.com We chose The Love Shack - tasty burger combo, root beer on tap, and a live duo playing outdoors. It was a bit chilly, but we chowed down. A fun Saturday exploring our back yard - well, twenty minutes away.
How nice to have something so interesting close to hand.
ReplyDeleteMary (my wife) grew up near the Chicago Stockyards. She told me that occasionally an animal would get loose and run through the neighborhood. Does that ever happen at Fort Worth?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun day!
thanks for visiting my blog. Not aware of run amok animals, but you never know. They might not advertise that fact.
DeleteI've been to Fort Worth, but not the scenic side. Just the go visit family side. Would love to make a trek for the feel and the flavor.

sounds like you need to grab the family and have a scenic visit all around. Lots to see and do and plenty of good food choices too - Tex Mex, BBQ, or burgers!
DeleteThere's actually a place called the Love Shack? Sounds like a fun time for you!
ReplyDeleteYou two have fun in big ways.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Joanne.
Yikes, those horns are long! I like going out for day trips like this someplace close that I've never seen. Your trip sounds fun.
