4th of July weekend TacoRide funfest!


Temps in the 100s? Oh well. Fun factor times ten was enough to offset the high temps as we set off for Mineola last night. Actually it wasn't too bad once we got onto the Wabash Trace. There was a wind coming from the south to keep up cool. Excellent. This week's group consisted of Kellan, Jena, TJ, Vince, Julie, Melissa, Steve, and myself. Most of us decided to ride all the way out from the school parking lot, while the others took a car to almost the last intersection before Margaritaville (and they got lost along the way!). Cheaters. But doesn't matter, the beer was cold and the ride was fun.

Some people were hungry and wanted mulberries. 

Take 2! 


The Roadmaster wasn't too comfortable per TJ. Koozies will fix anything!

Once at Mineola, we quickly realized how busy it was. Tables galore were setup outside on the street. Also there were three or four pools, a foam pit, and a flatbed trailer for the band. It was going to be a good time indeed!
Splash of pink anyone? 

Kellan was quick on the draw and got us a table inside. Very nice. We actually asked for menus this time around. Vince, Jena, and I stuck with the traditional tacos and fried processed cheese balls.. TJ got the steak (with bacon on top) with baked potato, salad, and a cup of green beans. Kellan got the fried tray of goodness. Delicious! I tried fried cauliflower for the first time ever. Not too bad.

This Raleigh lets you easily identify what gear you're in! 

By the end of the night, the water in these pools was brown and gross. And people were scooping the water up with empty pitchers and dumping it on people!

Too bad this girl wasn't pouring alcohol on herself like in the rap videos! That would be HOT!

Jellos shots, margaritas, and pitchers of beer, then it was time to make our way back. Kellan led the way, Jena flew and I just tried to catch up. Those other guys? Not sure what happened to them, think they hung back and partied it up in Mineola. Until next week!

I hate shots!
