Fun in Ft. Worth, TX

I went to Ft. Worth, TX for a couple of days this past week for the Annual Conference of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy. I had a very nice time. I really liked the downtown area of Ft. Worth where the conference was held. It was much safer to walk around and explore compared to downtown Atlanta (where the conference was held last year). I even went to see a play one evening at "Circle Theatre" (a small theater where Texas Christian University puts on performances). The play was called "The Fantasticks". I didn't like the plot but the acting and singing by the actors and actresses was superb! Here are some photos from the trip:
There was a neat little chocolate shop in the "Sundance Square" area (that was the name of the area of shops/restaurants near my hotel in downtown Fort Worth). I usually can't go by a chocolate shop without going in for a closer look and a sample or two.

This was a mural on the wall of one of the buildings in Sundance Square.

An area in the Fort Worth Water Gardens. It was so quiet and peaceful--you had to walk down a narrow staircase to get to it. It was a few feet below ground level. The Forth Worth Water Gardens were right next to the Fort Worth Convention Center (where the AAMFT Conference was held).

This was another one of the water pools in the Fort Worth Water Gardens. You can see someone going down the stairs where you can be among the waterfalls.


A giant star made of...cowboy hats! This was hanging from the ceiling in the convention center.
