For this Memorial Day weekend, Kyle and I decided to take a lil vacay to DFW. He's been wanting to go to a Rangers Game and I've been meaning to go back to my birthplace. We started out the weekend with a nice brunch in Downtown Dallas at a very quaint restaurant nestled in the Historic District. The food was delish and they even have their own vegetable garden.
And then it was time for the game... Kyle was so excited to see the Rangers and Cowboys stadium. We enjoyed, well actually baseball is not really as exciting for me, so Kyle enjoyed the 5 hr, 13 inning baseball game. I enjoyed the peanuts and frozen lemonade.
Game Winning Home Run!!
Onward to my birthplace... Welcome to Fortworth, Texas.
Home of the Fortworth Stockyards, twice a day they gather the cattle and round em up and walk them down the street. We really wanted to experience all of what Fortworth had to offer so we made sure we were on time for this event.

| We were "this" close to buying this for Kyle. It's his new life motto |
We weren't disappointed, the Stockyards were very entertaining and
there were a lot of fun shops to look at. Kyle even thought it was
better than Jackson Hole. I'm not so sure 'bout that, but it's
definitely a Texas must see.
For the FINALE, I decided it would be good to go back to where I was born and take a pic almost 25 years later. Here's a quick summary of when I was born. It was a hot July day in Fortworth, TX on Carswell AFB.
My mom was so excited to finally be a mother to a little girl and my brother's had no clue how truly spoiled I really would be! A few months after I was born, we moved away and I've always wondered what Fortworth was like. Well now I know. It is very HOT. Carswell AFB is now known as the Naval Air Station. It really wasn't as exciting as I was hoping. We were hoping to take a tour of the base but it was Sunday and they are closed to Visitors. Bummer. We also were planning on going to downtown Fortworth but instead we just decided to drive back home. Well, at least I can cross that off my bucket list! I'll tell you though, it's nice living in Texas knowing that I'm a native here. Texan's really like other native Texans.
We ended our trip with a stop off in Downtown Austin. I am so glad we live so close to Austin! What a beautiful place. Kyle and I have a small crush for Austin. I see now why so many people love it here.
