I really don't know what got into us. Amy Kerksiek, Betsy Brunner and I all moved here from Texas, and miss all the yummy Mexican food desperately. You just can't get anything close to it around here, and so on a whim, we decided to make the five hour trip to a Chuy's restaurant that just opened in Ohio.
Yep, five hours! We left as soon as the kids left for school, buckled our two girlies in their seats in the back (Caroline and Amy's little girl Kielle, who is the same age), and off we went. It was such a fun trip--lots of laughing and talking--and the time went by quickly.
When we arrived, we couldn't wait to get our hands on the chips, salsa, and creamy! SO yummy!! We quickly became celebrities when the waitress and management found out we had driven all that way, and we were give the royal treatment.
After we finished eating, we ordered a TON of takeout to bring home to our families, and while it was being prepared, went over to the nearby outlets and did a little shopping. When we picked up our food, we discovered that they and given us all of the salsa we ordered for free! (and it was A LOT!)
We put the girls in their pajamas, knowing we would get home late, and off we went. We got home around 10:30pm, but it was well worth it. The food and company were perfection!
Can't wait to go again! :)
