I needed a vacation badly for spring break with my two kids, and Vickie's place was perfect.
I brought my kids who are 4 and 1. The place is very safe for kids. There are doors and locks in all the right places. I was able to easily relax. The decor helped with that, too. I'd keep kids off the balcony, but who leaves small kids on any balcony anyway?
There was a ton of juice and milk and oatmeal and fruit to keep the kids happy. I got in late, and to find milk waiting in the place was a blessing, since my baby still drinks milk before bed. Breakfast was so easy with the kettle and oatmeal, too. It was just like home! I don't know what made her OJ so yummy, but it was so refreshing. The location is perfect for walking several places. I really wish I could've checked out that wine cafe. But we didn't have time because we were too busy out at the Botanical Gardens, and the Water Gardens (both family fun and free) and taking LONG NAPS! :) Pappadeaux and Pappasito's are very nearby they were as good as usual.
This place is perfect for families. I put my kids to bed in the bed and I slept on the futon with the plush bedding she gave me. I felt right at home. Both the kids were in the futon with me by the time it was morning, and we had room to spare.
My son loves In N Out and that's really close, too. Not walking-close, but close enough to indulge a 4 year old. There is so much more we didn't get to do before our train left. I want to come back and visit the Log Cabin museum and all the other fun family stuff to do in Ft. Worth. Fort Worth is my favorite town and Vickie's place is a must-do as far as I'm concerned. Since I'll be back and forth from Houston to OKC for the foreseeable future, I'd absolutely stay there again. Maybe when we don't leave so many diapers behind she'll let us come back. ;)
