First Visitor

This week we had our first visitor! My dad was in town for work, so we got to see him for a few days. It was really fun to have a visitor, especially family. We enjoyed showing him around our new place and the dogs always love having someone else around to pay extra attention to them.

Another added bonus to having company is going out to eat. One of my favorite things to do is eat, which is only enhanced by eating out. What could be better than eating and not having to make it or clean it up? We of course had our favorite- TexMex. But we also got to try a new place on our list- The Salt Lick- home to classic Texas BBQ.

The infamous Salt Lick meat!

The Salt Lick was featured on an episode of 'Man vs. Food' which is where we first learned of it's notoriety. As usual, we were not disappointed. Potato salad, pork ribs, cole slaw and a few bowls of honey BBQ sauce later we were pleased to say that maybe Texas can do BBQ like the true South.

Tomorrow we are headed for Virginia to spend Thanksgiving week with my family! It will be so nice to have a whole week away and to be with family. Last Thanksgiving we were not able to be with either of our families, so we are especially thankful to be with them this year! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, more next week as we get REALLY close to the big 30 for Kyle (insert Jaws music here)...
