It all started on Thursday night when we went to a local Greek restaurant

Other than eating and drinking, we also got to meet my Dawn’s twin boys. Those little guys were hilarious and entertaining and lovable and huggable and just so much fun to be around. But holy cow, I don’t know how she does it. She’s an amazing mother and such an inspiration!!!! She put the boys down for their nap, so James, Shaunna, and I took off to visit Mt. Bonnell.

We were a little hot from hiking up and down steep steps, so we decided to go to the hula hut for drinks!
James and his mojito:

My delicious strawberry/lime margarita (it was as frosty and wonderful as it looks!):

Our pina coladas. with an extra shot of rum. What can I say? We were on vacation! :)

And now, a warning. This next picture may cause you to jump on the next plane to Austin or something. This is Coy’s picture of our food from the Salt Lick. I couldn’t be bothered to take pics of this food because I dug right in.

Pics from the oasis. I also have a great story about the man hunt that went down that night, but more on that later.

Yet another fruity drink (this one was lame compared to the drinks at the Hula Hut)

And finally, my cowboy boots. I love them so much.

Thank you to Coy and Shaunna for being such wonderful hosts, to Dawn and Brad and Lenore and Christy and everyone else who we got to see, and especially to Wendy for making the trip possible!!!
