Black Friday, Shmack Friday

What a great day!

Breakfast at the in-laws, then into Fort Worth to meet Mom at the Omni IMAX theater at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History to see Rocky Mountain Express.  Todd and I had already been talking about taking a Canadian rail journey - I think seeing this movie pretty much cinches it as a "must do" for a future vacation.

From the film's website:  "Rocky Mountain Express propels audiences on a steam train journey through the breathtaking vistas of the Canadian Rockies and highlights the adventure of building a nearly impossible transcontinental railway."  Photo © 2012 The Stephen Low Company. All Rights Reserved

After the movie we made a stop at the Vending Nut Company, a Fort Worth landmark (in my opinion).  They have a large, fresh selection of dried fruits, whole and shelled nuts, snack mixes, candies and gift baskets.  We bought small bags of Cajun Mix and Supreme Mix snack mixes, assorted sour balls, and dried cantaloupe.  In addition to their retail storefront, shown below, they also have a online store for quick and easy shoppin' and shippin'.  Check them out at www.vendingnut.com, or in person at the address below the photo.

After stocking up on snacks, we went to Mercado Juarez in North Fort Worth for dinner before heading home.  Always fantastic!

Snapped this photo as the sun was setting behind the sign.  I could never get enough of this place!

So there you have it - a terrific day with no crowds, no fights, no gunplay, no drama.  Now I can sing my little Friday song:  "It's Friday, it's my day, oh how I love Friday!"  (Which, incidentally is a lot better than the other song I stumbled across today called "Papa Smurf Can I Lick Your Ass?" - you'll have to google it, because I'm not going to link it here.)  Have a great weekend!
