We drove up from Houston and so stopped over in Fort Worth for a night in order to make the drive up to OKC more palatable. Fort Worth has a wonderful downtown area that is definitely worth taking some time to explore.

We stayed at The Sinclair, a 4-Star hotel located in downtown Fort Worth. The building is beautiful (art deco) and historic. It also houses the restaurant below. Oh, and the hotel is very tech forward, which may be a selling point for some.

We ate here for dinner. The food was delicious, though we do recall the seasoning on the steaks being a bit heavy. We also really appreciated the great service.

We grabbed a coffee and explored the downtown area in the morning before getting in the car and heading up to Oklahoma.

From the web: Oklahoma City is the capital of the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It's known for its cowboy culture and capitol complex, surrounded by working oil wells. The reflecting pool and empty glass and bronze chairs of the Oklahoma City National Memorial recall the victims of the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The Survivor Tree, an American elm nearly destroyed in the attack, is also part of the memorial.

This is located on the southern side of the city and would be easy to miss. We were told that many of the skeletons on display are helped along in their preparation by flesh eating beetles (which you can see happily at work near the museum's entrance). The museum is small but packs in a lot of exhibits and we thought it was a great visit overall.

After spending time at the museum, we made our way over to Bricktown to explore the many shops and eateries at this location. From water taxis to a baseball stadium to putt putt, this area has plenty to offer and seems very family friendly.

For dinner, we ate at Vast, located on the 49th floor of the Devon Tower (which is the tallest building in all of Oklahoma). The views were great and the food was tasty. We tried the bone marrow and it did not disappoint.

We stayed at The Skirvin, a 4-Star hotel located in downtown OKC. The building shows off its history (and even has a mini Lego replica of itself on display in the lobby)! The beds were super comfy!

From the web: Historic hotel with an art deco restaurant & cocktail bar, plus an indoor pool & fitness center.

A great little spot to grab a coffee and a bite to eat! This place reminds us of Austin, Texas.

Gorgeous gardens! Be aware that the conservatory could get pretty warm, especially if it's summer (so watch what you wear because you will sweat). Definitely worth a visit! Oh, and the waterfall is fantastic!

Each of the exhibits is interactive and each is created by local artists. This place is awesome and a treat for the senses. It's also family friendly. A must do.

Before heading out, we stopped by the Plaza Walls for a look at all of the transformative art work that lines the alley way behind a shopping area.

And then it was back to Texas! Hope you had a good weekend and that this helped if you're stopping in Fort Worth or OKC!

A historic neighborhood in OKC with plenty of mansions worth driving by for a look!

You just have to see the angel statues on the building's exterior!
