Every year my siblings get together for what we call a ‘Sibling Trip’. My Brother and his wife, my sister & her hubs, and RancherMan & I pick a fun location and then vacation together. We’ve been to many fun places, but on this occasion my SIL suggested Broken Bow, OK.

I’ve heard of Broken Bow, but I don’t think I’ve ever been there. We’d decided to rent a 3-bedroom, 3 bath cabin so we could all stay together. It had a fully stocked kitchen so we could bring food and cook at the cabin a couple of nights to save some cash. Love it! Let’s get on the road.

RancherMan & I often get together with my siblings and their spouses and go away for a fun vacation.  We’re running off together typically on a long weekend once or twice a year. I love that our family is still that close!  We’ve been to many various places, mostly within the great state of Texas but also out to New Mexico. We’re even planning a cruise together.

On this occasion we conceded that our lives were all too busy to get away for a long period of time.  But we still needed to plan a fun getaway. Family is important! So we decided to stay close to home & go all touristy in Ft. Worth, Texas.

OMGosh what a great idea!  I’ve lived in the Dallas area almost all my life, so of course I’ve been to Ft. Worth many times. But it was always to drive to a specific location or event, never to stay & play.  Now this is gonna be fun!
