Our recent "plan" did not have us in the Fort Worth area, as we were hugging the Gulf Coast. But what became a missed opportunity with another friend turned us north, so we continued up on I-45 (not recommended -- they drive really fast in TX -- not to mention the construction ;-)
Anyways, we made it and had a wonderful visit, and thanks to their kindness, spent two days sleeping on a real bed, and in general, slowing down. We needed that!
Fort Worth is quite an interesting city -- growing like gangbusters, with the highways to prove it, and yet the city center has a small(ish) town feel, and the people were few and far between. We really enjoyed walking around and taking (lots of) pictures. First stop was an amazing water park -- artsy and clever -- not the play-kind. And you may recognize this pool from the movie, Logan's Run.

Our next stop was to a nearby JFK memorial, where the President spoke the morning before he was assassinated in Dallas. A nice memorial, and some interesting architecture (you can tell I like taking photos of buildings).
