Even though we had cold, rainy weather, we had a very nice visit with Steve’s brother Don, and my aunt Irene. Eating is always a favorite passtime for us. We went out to a few interesting restaurants: one owned by Guy Fieri from the Food Network, called Tex Wasabi; one called Twin’s Sushi where Irene knows the twins and we all got hugs as well as great food, and of course, the local Mexican restaurant that we always go to with the world’s best margaritas. Yummy!

One of the neighborhoods has a small airport, where the people own small planes and after they land, they just drive them down the street to their houses. Driveways have planes and cars both, and garages are extra wide to accommodate the wings of the planes. Even the street signs are really short so that the wings of the planes can pass over them. I think these folks are in a different tax bracket than we are!

Steve is a photographer, and Dawn does the writing, and this way we thought we could share our travel adv... full info
