I live down the road from Ft. Worth, TX and until recently I really took this wonderful city for granted! Ft. Worth is truly the gateway to the West. It has maintained its identity throughout the years when other Texas cities wanted to tear down and rebuild more modern buildings.

You will be amazed to find so much history in Fort Worth.. It is much like taking a step back into time! While I intend to write a future blog on places to see while visiting Ft. Worth...I wanted to concentrate today's blog on some of my favorite activities and places to eat while in Fort Worth.
A must place to visit is Joe T. Garcia''s located in the infamous Stockyards. Joe T's opened on July 4, 1935 in the home of Joe T and Jesse Garcia. It serves some of the most delicious and authentic Mexican food you can find. Be prepared to wait but it is so well worth the wait!

Another one of my favorite places in Ft. Worth has to be Vending Nut
Company. While this is a wholesale company they do have a store where
anyone can purchase nuts...and gosh do they have nuts. You name it and
they have it! You can even order from their online site!

Blue Bonnet Bakery
Well now - what can I say about this awesome bakery that will do it justice to the greatness that is created in this bakery? Blue Bonnet has been a mainstay in Fort Worth since 1934 and there is no telling how many birthday cakes, wedding cakes, petit fours and cookies this bakery has sold...but it has to be a ton! The bakery is at the top of my Top 10 bakeries as it is that good!
Now to go along with the awesomeness of this bakery is the unique location...you see...it is in an old church!
Blue Bonnet also serves lunch but let's be honest...I much rather check out the sweet delights!
