Shopping and Dining

I enjoy activities that are surrounded around friends and family – such as cooking, dining out and shopping. I have a wonderful husband, Blake, that I have been married to for almost four years, along with two four-legged creatures – Ella (a toy Cockappo) and Oxford (a Cocker Spaniel).

If you haven’t visited Fort Worth, before…we'd love to have you! We look forward to welcoming you to THE FORT!

Xoxo,

Amanda

I would like to mention that my fascination with the largest and most luxurious liner ever built started long before Leo and Kate hit the big screen, but that is neither here nor there. I am excited that Leo and Kate will be back at movie theaters in 3D as this April marks the 100th Anniversary since the fateful journey, but what I’m really excited for is Titanica that will show at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History’s Omni IMAX Theater beginning April 15, 2012. Anyone can watch Leo and Kate, but only in the City of Cowboys and Culture can you experience an actual expedition down to the wreckage. If you have ever seen an IMAX film, you know that it surrounds you like a dome, and this will allow audiences to see the ghostly wreck in extraordinary detail. The Omni Theater’s offering of the film, is in advance celebration of the Museum of Science and History’s presentation of Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, opening October 13, 2012.

Titanica will show through the summer, but tickets are available now!

Grab your entire herd and head to Stockyards Station for Cowtown Goes Green, the largest and most family-friendly St. Patrick’s Day celebration in Fort Worth. Enjoy FREE activities such as pony rides, a petting zoo, face painting, games and contests with Radio Disney, live music and gunfights from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the heart of the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. Then watch a real herd of longhorn make their way down Exchange Avenue for the world’s only twice-daily cattle drive at 4 p.m. But the fun doesn’t stop there...they created a special Western/Irish themed Cowtown Goes Green parade of local businesses, horseback riding clubs, radio stations and more to follow the cattle drive. 

Don’t forget to wear your green and see you out there!

Kids first through sixth grades will have a blast traveling to exotic destinations and still be home in time for dinner during Spring Break Camp at the Top 5 Zoo in the country. Each day they’ll “land” in a different part of the world and your world traveler will receive a stamp in their Zoo passport (without having to stand in line at customs). This is the perfect opportunity for them to be immersed in different cultures, learning about the area’s wildlife, habitats and current conservation efforts – plus it will provide you a much needed break during Spring Break! Space is limited so be sure to register now!

Woodshed Smokehouse will open on 2.1.2012 (according to signage at the entrance) and the menu doesn’t sound like your average barbeque joint. Featuring items such as smoked pork in a bourbon-and-coke marinade and roasted fresh beets served with earthy goat cheese creme fraiche, makes my mouth water just thinking about my first visit. I am extra pumped because Chef Tim Love also owns my favorite restaurant in the city, Lonesome Dove Western Bistro – located in the Stockyards National Historic District. I feel his restaurants are unique, trendy and a true dining experience, so I am marking my calendar for the first week of February to give it a try!
