Foundry District
I love supporting small businesses and that’s exactly what you’ll find at The Foundry District in Fort Worth. The Foundry features an outdoor art gallery, get a bite to eat at the food truck park, and enjoy a cup of coffee at Craftwork Coffee Co. (one of my personal favorites).

Fort Worth Zoo
It’s easy to forget that there is so much more out in the world than are small corner and going to the Fort Worth Zoo is a friendly reminder of how beautiful the world around us truly is. I went with my 2-year-old nephew for his birthday and seeing the amazement and wonder in his face was priceless.
When we see these creatures in a picture or film, we don’t always grasp how magical they are IRL!
There’s something to see in every corner and you never know what to expect from any wild animal. Did I mention they have cute baby animals as well? When I went in September, a giraffe recently had a boy and we all got to see him walking around eating, it was priceless. You’ll also find a spot that’s extremely kid-friendly, a petting zoo, and a reptile section.
Going to the Fort Worth Zoo? Might as well GET A POGO PASS!
