into the country (18.52)

last saturday we decided to embark on a journey to FORT WORTH. i know – so very far. jana had mentioned the previous weekend that there was this amazing bbq place called cooper’s so we decided to tack on rahr & sons and make it a whole day trip.  we all (steph, jessi, jana, joon) met at our place at around 12pm then split into two cars to drive to the brewery.

it was a really pretty day – slightly windy but the sun was in full force. the line into the brewery wasn’t as bad as last time but it was also not a special celebration anniversary this time around. it was awesome cause we filled our pint glasses right when we got in vs. having to wait 15-20 minutes like before. went outside and sat on the benches – which is where i got my glorified sunburn from sitting with my back to the sun. awesome.

after drinking for about 1 1/2 hours – we decided it was time for some much needed MEAT. steph left back to dallas to get ready for savor while the rest of us piled into jana’s car in anticipation of this so-called awesome bbq. and awesome it was. when you first walk in to cooper’s you are immediately greeted by a pit of meat and get to select what you want. i’m not sure what all we ordered, but it was something like brisket, prime rib, half chicken, pork loin, sausage… probably a rib – who knows, but it was all so very GOOD.

here’s jana who looks very excited about the pounds of meat in her hand… as she should be.

GLORIFIED MEAT. notice the juicy juicy prime rib on top YUM.

nom nom nom. everything was so good and tender. awesome bbq! will definitely go back.

here’s a random bread face(s) picture for you.

we were so stuffed and craving ice cream so we decided to 1) walk off our food while 2) searching for ice cream. good combo, right? the stockyards were just across the street so we hopped across the road (not literally), stared at horses and longhorns for awhile and enter the famous ft worth stockyards. yah – not as impressive as i thought it would be, but oh well. there was this nice grassy field upon entering so we decided to be hippies and quickly spread out across the lawn.

yum – nice grass. jana and i searched on our phones for the closest ice cream and nowhere within the stockyards could we find any. fail. walked up the street, realized there was really NOTHING here and left where we drove back home to get marble slab ice cream. along macarthur there was an accident and g insisted we walk up the street so he could take a photo (he is collecting photos of accidents he sees). awkward much? and i got ice cream in my hair.

18.52: visited the ft worth stockyards, ate at cooper’s, took g’s cousin to go shopping for her birthday
