Fort Fun Weekend

One of my very dear friends refers to Fort Worth as Fort Fun, and whether she is being sarcastic or not, I appreciate all Fort Worth-related enthusiasm.  Hubby and I have been living here for 6 months now and have settled into a routine with favorite spots and things to do.  Although sometimes we feel like we know all we need to know about Fort Worth, there are still some surprises left as we have found out this weekend. 

Saturday we went to the Fort Worth Nature Reserve to go for a hike with Maui.  Our expectations were low, but we were pleasantly surprised to find a hilly park with plenty of wildlife.  The hike took us along a dirt path through wooded areas and fields, up canyons and down slopes.  We were impressed that this terrain existed in the Texas plains.  It is definitely a place that Andrew and I want to go back to again.

 Through the trees, we could see Lake Worth.

There were some ruins on the hike.

Then today, Sunday, we stopped by the new food truck park that is located just down the river from our apartment.  We walked with Maui along the Trinity Trail and made it to the Clearfork Food Truck Park in mere moments.  Several food trucks were parked in a semi-circle around an area filled with picnic tables and music playing.  There is a permanent building that serves as a bar for all the food trucks making it the perfect place to hang out and stay a while.  Hubby had a Flyin' Hawaiian Hot Dog from the Dog Pound while I had loaded french fries (the First Bell) from First Bite Gourmet.  Both meals were delicious and made that much better by perfect weather.  This is definitely a place we will go again.

The perfect day for food trucks!
