After a short drive to the city of Arlington, Will and I found a pumpkin patch to select our perfect pumpkin from, and once our mission was complete, we came across an Eastern European restaurant/ gift shop, where we had a very surprising, very pleasant Russian lunch and perused souvenirs and icons.

The only way our weekend in Fort Worth could have been any better is if time had stopped for us and enabled a longer stay! We spent the greatest portion of Saturday in Downtown, were I got completely caught up in the beauty of the autumn decorations all around the city and jumped on the band wagon to find myself the perfect harvest decoration: a pumpkin!

Back in Fort Worth, the evening went by in a daze as we once again headed Downtown to enjoy the music, atmosphere and fine dining. Sunday was greeted bright and early by another visit to the Stockyards District where we witnessed a cattle drive (these days more a tourist attraction than a real cattle sale) and wandered around Stockyards Station until lunch time. This concluded our wonderful and jam-packed stay in Fort Worth.
Our perfect pumpkin was left sitting in our hotel room adorning a written message to the staff thanking them for our lovely stay and Fort Worth left a resounding message within Will and I to come back again soon!
