Good Friday morning!
As hinted at on Tuesday, I recently had the chance to go and explore the Dallas-Fort Worth region of a Texas, getting a chance to visit one of my best friends and see a patch of ground I’ve never had a chance to explore before.
We’ve had a few trips the last few years that were different than our usual style - historically, we go on road trips, and the plan is not to spend more than 2 nights in the same place. To see as much as we can. This time we spent about a week all in one place, hanging with an awesome family and their adorable kids, and got to meet a ton of incredibly cool people in the area. On top of that, the “scene”, in terms of food and drink and coffee and museums was fantastic.
Overall, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the Dallas area - but also realized how lucky and spoiled we are here. It was hard - very hard - to get outside and play in Dallas. It was hard - very hard - to escape the city, to find a place to yourself.
This little spot is a “water park” in Fort Worth. Something that we take for granted - something we would find silly - a park where there is running water, flowing over rocks (or concrete), but you aren’t supposed to touch it.
It’s fun to find cool places, but its also fun to find reasons to appreciate where I’m from.
Hope folks have a great weekend.
