Lunch With My Daughter

Today my DD and I drove to Tampa to have lunch together. My DS wanted to come but I told him it was a girl's ONLY lunch! lol Now he wants to know when we can take him to this place!

 I had seen this restaurant featured on Diners, Drive In's & Dives with Guy Fieri. I had gone with my DH over the summer when he had a doctor's appointment down in Tampa. I saw it was in the area and told him I wanted to stop there. Boy was it FANTASTIC!!! The name of the restaurant is "California Taco's To Go" . If you click on the name it will take you to the website and the owner has the video of when Guy was there. I guess this place would be considered a "Dive" as you can't go in and sit down and you can't drive in lol
  We both had a fish taco and my DD had a chicken taco & I had a Carne Asada taco. All were out of this world! She said this place was definitely worth the drive (45 minutes each way) and she was so glad we went there. We decided we would go back again for a lunch date in a couple of months.It was nice to spend time with her.

I also must mention that this was the first time in 10 years that I have been in a car with her driving!  10 YEARS you might ask?? Well hmmmm....the last time I was in a car (my car) with her behind the wheel she was pulling my car out from being parallel parked in front of our house in NY. Behind her was my mailbox and in front of her was a telephone pole. My DS was about a year old at the time and was in his car seat in the back. She had just taken an entire Summer of Driver's ED and she passed with flying colors hehe Anyway I tell her to back up a little  then cut the wheel  to the left to get out of the spot. So she backs up, puts it in drive, forgets to cut the wheel and proceeds to put her foot on the gas....yep you guessed it! she smashed right into the telephone pole! The hood of my car was smashed up to the windshield and smoke was pouring out of the car! I told her to put the car in park & get out. I was calm as I quickly got out to retrieve my son. That was more than enough for me :)
 Anyway I am glad to report she drove well today and I am home safe & sound lol

 I am still working on exchange stitching so nothing to show at this point.

Tomorrow is my last Butterfly Meeting for the year. The club takes off for the month of December and starts back up in January. Tomorrow instead of having a guest speaker, we are going on a "field trip" to a local nursery. it should be fun!

Have a great weekend everyone!
Thanks so very much for stopping by!
