On our way to the TCD Farm we wanted to see if the Fiends in 1400 loop could be found.
No one was home.
Drats.
But I did spot something very curious hanging on this clothesline that didn't even involve trees... Tsk, Tsk.
Lets take a closer look.....
I don't want to name call, but tie dye can only mean one thing.....
Now we've arrived at the TCD Farm.
Farm!? But where are all the animals?
There's a horse.
DS5.
The place you pay to ride the ponies.
A couple of ponies.
What in the name of Musket Mickey is going on here?!
No piggies.
No goats.
No chickens.
No nuttin' but a couple of ponies that you can't pet.
You can ride them, but not pet them.
I guess the TCD Farm is no longer a petting farm.
Darn.
Oh well, guess we'll just go on over to the TCD Ranch and take a look around.
I wish they had the calliope displayed better.
You can't really get that great of a look at it.
But at least you can see it a little bit.
Everyone, meet John.
A peek at the staff only end of the stables.
The Blacksmith Shop.
Who remembers when there used to be an actual Blacksmith hammering out the horseshoes?
Do they still have a blacksmith?
DS7 found another pony.
We enjoyed watching this beauty graze for a few minutes.
DH and the DS' wandering on around to the FW Pavillion.
Since I've already posted pics of that I'm not going to post anymore here.
It's starting to get a little late in the day so it's time to mosey on over to the marina and catch our last boat to the MK.
Notice the flowering bushes in the distance and to the left of the pathway.
In a moment this will be a good illustration on the importance of slowing down, taking it all in and enjoying the small things the Fort has to offer.
The back door to the D.C. Arcade.
If we hadn't takent the time to walk back to the Pavillion we wouldn't have found out the Arcade had a back door.
Not a big deal, but we wouldn't have known.
This is why you shouldn't rush too much at FW.
FW was meant to help you slow down the pace and enjoy a laid back atmosphere of a bygone era.
If we'd rushed to quickly to the marina to catch that next boat,
we would have missed this.....
I love the Fort.
