Over Christmas break, Mark and I decided to take a little mini-trip to Fort Worth. I've lived in Dallas all my life, but never really spent much time in Fort Worth, and we had so much fun! I knew we were in for a fun 2 days when we stumbled on this little gem down the street from our hotel...
Yep, that's a dog, a cat, and a rat. Best friends. The owner said they've been together for 10 years. The dog and cat are attached by a leash thing, and the rat just walked around them. It was hilarious, and adorable, and a little strange. Definitely an interesting sight!
One of the main reasons we chose Fort Worth is that Mark's been wanting to go to the art museums there. We visited the Kimbell, the Modern Art Museum, and the Amon Carter, and they were awesome! Lot's of cool pieces and Mark had studied the architecture of the Kimbell (pictured above) so he enjoyed seeing the building firsthand.
At the Amon Carter, we walked upstairs and saw this cute little family. Then, we realized how strikingly similar the mom looked to Mark's sister, Brittany! Other than speaking with a French accent and having three boys instead of 2 girls and a boy, she could definitely pass for Britt. It was really funny. They were on such a fun little outing, the mom had cards with facts about the different pieces, and they would sit in front of them and talk about them.
Another highlight of the trip was our visit to the Stockyards to watch the cattle drive. Twice a day, they take about 15 big longhorns down the main street, and just kind of parade them back to the stables. If you don't know, I sort of love cows, so it was pretty exciting for me :) We talked to one of the cowboys for a while too which was fun.
The little downtown area near the Stockyards had fun little shops with neat decorations.
So, if you're looking for a cheap, fun weekend, Fort Worth is a nice spot to visit!
