On our Land That We Love Tour we went to the fanciest Mexican restaurant we’ve ever seen on Tuesday night, Mariano’s. It is owned by the Martinez family. Mariano Martinez is the inventor of the World’s First Frozen Margarita Machine.
The first machine is now in the Smithsonian.
My youngest brother’s familia.
Dear and me.
Poblano Carbon
Tex-Mex tacos.
It’s Fall y’all!
Today we are meeting up with a dear friend from California who happens to be visiting her daughter who now lives in Texas. Serendipitous to be able to see each other in Texas.
Fun times today and then we hit the road early on Thursday heading north, then west, then north and then west, then west and north to our home! Did you catch our route?

Ahhh…good times! Your nephew is a cutie. Happy ZigZag trail home. Glad you have another day in Texas first.
Vee, it is quite the zig zag and we’d like to get home before interesting weather hits some of the areas we need to drive through.
TexMex, the real thing can’t be beat!

I love the giant Halloween broccoli at the end. 😂
Hello Sandi, that was a fun fall display.
Your meal looks delicious, Ellen in such a fun looking spot. Your travel plans headed home sound quite interesting. Be safe and enjoy our beautiful country.
