Plaza Theatre is the place to go for theatre fans. We had a chance to watch White Christmas, and throughly enjoyed the singing, costumes, dance moves and the rotating stage. This is a theatre where every seat has a great view. The rotating stage was such a neat experience and such a unique feature. Be sure to check out their calendar for upcoming shows!

You can never go wrong with Tex-Mex! La Cima dishes have great flavor, unique dishes and according to my son, the best queso blanco ever!

This laid back, casual hot dog restaurant is the perfect place to dine after a day of exploring downtown. Be sure to dine on Friday’s and listen to some live music from local artists.

Burger Bar

This burger joint is unlike any others! When we stopped by, there was only one person working and made the burgers & fries from scratch. The building may be tiny, but the burgers are anything but! With only four bar stools for inside seating, it’s best to enjoy your lunch at the outdoor picnic tables. 

Explore the state park

Exploring nature is a must do whenever we take a trip. The Cleburne State Park has over 13 miles of hiking and bike trails – many are along Cedar Lake shoreline. Be sure to hike the Spillway Trail that takes you to the three-tiered spillway – it’s a beautiful waterfall that shows off after the rain.

Instagram post 2189493726150598046_188511613 The Stockyards are by far my favorite area of Fort Worth. I love everything from the bricks on Exchange, eating at Lonesome Dove and taking trail rides along the Trinity.

Have you been to the Fort Worth Stockyards? 📷 @hmcotton7
