Texas: Part 3, Fort Worth, a ride on a Longhorn


After our super fun (way too much fun) time in Dallas we checked out Fort Worth. We went down to the stockyards, where everyday at 4pm they heard the longhorn cattle through town to their other pen. We got there just in time to catch the end of the heard being put in their pen. We walked around the town, everything was centered around the stockyards, I guess they have auctions and rodeos every week! We got a "cold one" and were able to walk the streets with it, which was really nice because once again it was super hot! As we were getting ready to leave to head to the Movie Tavern we saw a gentlemen with just one longhorn letting people take pictures. He let me get on the longhorn (for a price!) and take pictures with it. You would not believe how long their horns really are! It was pretty cool, luckily the longhorn was pretty mellow, the guys said he wasn't "straight from the pasture".
After my date with the longhorn we went to this place called Movie Tavern. It is exactly what you think but better. It is a movie theater where you can drink beer! The boys and I went and saw the Hangover. When you get into the theater it is set up like a normal theater but more space between rows so that servers can get through to bring you beer and not only beer, but food! We're not talking popcorn and nachos, we are talking restaurant food! It was an awesome experience and the tickets were cheaper than seeing a movie in California! The next day was the Rangers game!
