Free Tacos at Taco Cabana for 4PM-9PM

by Josie on August 3, 2010

I normally don’t write about chains but I do like Taco Cabana, especially for late night eats. And I do like free eats as well, and if they throw in a $1.50 margarita and half priced nachos well then all the better. So if you’re hungry and low on cash, stop by Taco Cabana from 4PM-9PM today for a FREE Chicken Fajita Taco. For other locations check here.

Weekend Happenings

Kimbell Art Museum
Family Festival 1PM – 4PM
Michelangelo, Matisse, and Me

This is a great free event for the whole family. From the Kimbell:

Discover your inner artist through creative activities and films inspired by European art in the Museum’s collection. Don’t miss a fun “informance” by the Fort Worth Jazz Orchestra as musicians engage audience members to present different styles of jazz.

Treat your kids to some hot dogs and custard from Curly’s before visiting the museum. Even with the heat the water misters and shade kept us cool on a recent visit. Plus you can’t let summer escape without treating yourself to some unforgettable peach custard.

Another kid friendly option for a quick bite is the Love Shack. I’ve heard that they have also put up some extra shade as well, but I haven’t seen it for myself yet. My kids love their burgers with a little milk shake chaser. Grown ups can enjoy the Dirty Love Burger with a beer or a refreshing marg.

Fort Worth Museum of Science and History
DaVinci after Dark $10, free for members
6PM -10PM

The FWMSH is hosting an after hours event for Adults Only. It is very clear billed as an adults only event so leave the kids with the sitter and get your hands on all the cool exhibits that your kids would normally be hogging. There will be a cash bar and snacks available as well as Italian wine tasting. Best of all they’ve booked one of my favorite local bands, Seryn, to play at 9PM. Here’s some deets from FWMSH:

Explore our exhibit Leonardo da Vinci: Man, Inventor, Genius, dance to local bands Eyes and Ears and Seryn. Then try your hand at backwards writing, journal making and building catapults. Watch local Makers demo their inventions, meet contact jugglers, and observe sculptors in action.

Father’s Day Idea – Road Trip to Lockhart, TX

June 17, 2010

I’m not going to write about Father’s Day Brunches because frankly none of the Dads I know are into “brunches”. Most Dads, mine included, love a good barbecue though. Even though we all have our local favorite BBQ spots like Angelos, Coopers, or Cousins why not take a drive down to the BBQ [...]
