Did you know that the Dairy Queens in Texas have a completely different menu (outside of the ice cream) than the other 49 states? Can't get steak fingers in Washington. Different food supplier.

Also, only in Texas does a kid's menu portion of cream gravy seem like a good thing to have.

Today's Adventure in Texas: Exploring a cemetery that may or may not be connected to our family.

In 2000 I visited here by getting permission to get on a neighboring property and jumping the fence. In 2010, my mid 60 year old father and I jumped a fence and walked a half mile round trip to the cemetery and back across a broken up cotton field.

The area is now being developed, and we went to see if it as any more accessible, and to our surprise, it's now very accessible. We can park in a cult de sac, walk a little ways, and were right there.

Dad felt so good about being there (at 70!) That he's considering trying to clean the place up.

Today in Texas Food: Chacho's

You don't know how much I miss good fast Mexican food. No, Taco Cabana no longer counts.

That plate of chips and queso? That's a "small."

Mom: That's the most expensive I've seen.
Jenn, after paying $5/gal for the cheap stuff in Seattle: O_o;

Today in Texas food: Long John Silver's.

Yeah, it's a national chain. It's also nowhere near Washington State.

Today's Adventures of Jenn in Texas:

Jenn: I need to be real careful about where I use the bathroom as a trans woman.
Jenn's GI Tract: Hold my beer.

At least it was a nice quiet evening with the parents. ❤

Even the low end BBQ in Texas beats the high end BBQ in Seattle.

My friends. I have crossed the Rio Grande. And you know what that means.

THE IMPERATRIX OF THE PEOPLE'S SOCIALIST DEMOCRATIC FEDERATED REPUBLIC OF TEXAS (REFORMED) (CLAIMANT IN EXILE) HAS RETURNED TO HER SUBJECTS.

...for a little while.
