Fort Worth Day Six:
Our flight would eventually be delayed to 2pm the next day, meaning an extra day in Fort Worth and one less at our next destination. We had two consecutive AirBnB bookings, and our hosts agreed to extend/reduce the relevant bookings ultimately resulting in a reduced cost to us as Fort Worth was a little cheaper per night. Our car rental was only $25 to extend for an extra 27 hours (must have hit a weekly rate) and the rebooked AA flight got bumped into Y class, doubling the SC earn
Avoca was open for coffee but their food was not delivered for the day, so we had to go looking hard for somewhere to eat and ended up at the French Restaurant. I wish we'd taken a picture of the car before we de-iced it, it took me about half an hour to clear the windows. For breakfast/brunch, I had an omelette, my wife ordered an enchilada, which came out quite interestingly:
They came with 'salads' - which to me seemed like mixed lettuce from a salad bag, but was still surprisingly refreshing compared to the grease in our main meals:
We found another coffee place - Buon Giorno - which had a really cool game to play:
We then drove out to the grapevine mall for more shopping. It was about a 45 minute drive on the icy roads. Given the cold weather, and anticipating more, I bought a great coat but the mall closed really early at around 4pm (it would normally be open till 9.30 - and the bose store was closed altogether) so we headed back, and we were glad we did when we did. The ice kept falling and the roads kept getting worse, so much so a bunch of highways were closed due to crashes, and a bus spun out and took to 'perpendicular parking' across a local road, blocking off a whole direction of traffic.
After driving past about six restaurants that were all closed, we found the 'Bearded Lady', and we are so glad we did as not only did we try something different, but it was awesome. We both got varieties of the 'Build your own damn burger' - I had bacon mac cheese on side, my wife had deep fried leek (a nice twist on onion rings).
We then returned to the house to do a load of washing and pack ready to go the following morning. Ultimately I was quite glad we got an extra day in Fort Worth as it gave my wife a bit more chance to see the town.
