Roadtrippin'

Yesterday my parents came up to visit us and brought along their Texas Highways magazine.  In it, Mom had read about a taco joint in Godley, TX, which turned out to not be too far from our house.  So, all 5 of us jumped in the car and decided to head down to Godley.  Before we tried out some yummy Mexican food, though, we decided to drive a little bit farther to Granbury since none of us have ever been there before.

We stumbled upon their delightful town square area.

Parker climbed up on this statue and decided to read the words to us.  Did you know that the statue says, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6?"

The square was surrounded by lots of little shops with all sorts of odds and ends.  We might have enjoyed slowly going through all of the shops if someone would have better understood the phrase, "Look with your eyes, not with your hands."

Matt. ;)

Parker made a friend!

Walking around the town square and window shopping sure takes a lot out of you, so we were already ready to jump back in the car and head to our original destination.  However, we decided that we would definitely like to come back and visit Granbury again.  Especially after driving by the public "beach" on Lake Granbury.  Seems like such a cute little town with lots to explore.

It then took us about 20 minutes to get to Del Norte Tacos in Godley.  The town is just as big as it sounds.  I believe that stoplight in the background of the picture is the only one in town.  However, after one look at the menu we realized we had made a good decision.

The Saturday special was the pork ribs, and Mom just couldn't say no. 

Dad ordered the chicken enchiladas.  I had a bite and they were delicious.  And check out the presentation, too!

Matt ordered the chile relleno.  The magazine said If the tacos are worth a daytrip, then the chile relleno is almost worth an overnighter.  I think Matt would agree.

Compared to everyone else's plates, I definitely kept it simple.  Their tacos were awesome, though, and I may or may not have dreamt about them last night.

And not to be left out, Parker ordered the cheese enchiladas.  He kept complaining that they were too hot (spice-wise) even though there was nothing on or in them but cheese.  However, he thoroughly enjoyed the rice and a bag of chips.

That's one satisfied customer right there.

It is always fun to see my parents, and even moreso when we get to discover something new together.  I would say our roadtrippin' adventure was worth it, and I'm definitely already thinking of reasons why we need to drive 30 minutes to the middle of nowhere for some Del Norte Tacos.
