Fort Worth Family Weekend

We decided to take a little trip to Fort Worth and spend some time as a family of three before Cade arrives. We woke up bright and early Saturday morning, packed our bags, threw everything into the car, and hit the road.  We arrived in Fort Worth, just in time for lunch and were joined by my sweet friend Kelsey.  Due to the lack of decent Mexican food in the Falls, we ate at one of our favorite spots, Uncle Julios, and enjoyed good food and good company.

From there, Trey, Vivi, and I made our way to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History.  What a cool place!  In all the time that I lived in FW I never took the opportunity to see the exhibits at this museum.  The Energy Blast Exhibit was right up Trey's ally, as it brings together different aspects of the energy resources that we find in North Texas.  It was cool to see all of the different things that he deals with at work on a daily basis.  We also saw the DinoLabs exhibit, where Vivi sat in a dinosaur footprint!  Of course the Fort Worth Children's Museum was a huge hit with Vivi!  She got to play on an dragon head, drive an ambulance and explore all sorts of other interesting and hands on exhibits.  I can't wait to take her back again since she wasn't feeling at her best.

Following our museum visit, Vivi and I met back up with Kelsey at University Park Village for a little shopping at some of our favorite stores.  I picked up a couple of cute things for Vivi and Cade from BabyGap and some wonderful things for myself at Anthropologie.  The weather was nice enough for us to walk around outside and get some fresh air.  What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon!

That night we got a babysitter to come to our hotel and watch Vivi while Trey and I went to Del Frisco's for dinner with our friends Blake and Toni.  Del Frisco's never disappoints, and we enjoyed some delicious food with our sweet friends.  Our original intention was to see a movie before dinner, but we had forgotten how much planning has to go into seeing a movie in Fort Worth, especially at the ever popular Movie Tavern.  If only we would get one here in WF...

All in all, it was a wonderful weekend away as a family.  It was great to spend some quality time together experiencing a city that we love and called home for a good 8 years as well as see some friends that we miss dearly.  Thankfully the drive to Fort Worth is not a long one, and will enable us to continue to visit!

Please excuse the quality of these photos, obviously the Blackberry camera is not the best.   I am still sick that I forgot my memory card, but most of you understand that this is not unusual.
