New Digs
New Digs After our exploratory adventures, we sat down at Olive Branch Eatery to grab some nosh. As one of the newer restaurants in town, Olive Branch Eatery has quickly become a favorite among locals, specializing in lunch specials from Monday to Saturday with an aesthetically pleasing environment. While Alana and I ordered the Olive Branch sandwich, John decided on a classic BLT , and Greta sipped on some Strawberry Lemonade . Customers have the option to choose from chips, a side salad, cottage cheese, soup, or a daily special as their side. For us, the daily special included a Southwest Pasta Salad and a Ranch Pasta Salad . The Olive Branch also serves daily breakfast with favorites such as the Breakfast Burrito , French Toast , the Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich , and goodies like muffins, tarts, fruit pizza, and fruit Danishes . Tricera-Top That! Our next stop was the Grand Prairie Museum — an institution that is home to exhibits featuring ranching, dinosaur fossils, Native American history, Hugh Glass, and more. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with excitement from owner Stuart Schmidt . Our tour began with the Hugh Glass display. Featuring John Lopez’s sculpture, a large poster of The Revenant —the 2016 motion picture inspired by the frontiersman’s story—photographs, and article clippings retell the story. One of the museum’s standout exhibits is a life-size Pachycephalosaurus skull, which was excavated from the Schmidt ranch. Schmidt challenged Greta and me to pick up other dinosaur bones that were on display. After that, all I can say is to never underestimate the weight of a bone. After our fascinating and educational visit, the crew stopped by Grandma’s Chocolates for an afternoon pick-me-up.
