We traveled to Silver Lake over the past weekend to visit with my in-laws, Al & Kim Espinola. We had a wonderful time visiting and I wish we could have stayed longer. Funny that I wanted to stay longer b\c I am really a home body.
We got a late start Saturday morning and we only had about 85 miles to go. We stopped in Lapine to pick up a craigslist item I had been begging a man to hold for me 
. We also stopped at Subway to grab some breakfast which was totally yummy!
We eventually arrived and visited most of the day; only stopping to eat some fruit salad and cheese with crackers.
Saturday night we went to dinner at Cowboy Dinner Tree.
http://cowboydinnertree.net/ We got a nice salad, melt in your mouth dinner rolls, beans or soup, baked potato, a 26 oz. steak or a whole chicken and a berry cake desert. Of course it was too much food to process so we had to take it home in a baggy.
Kim & Al know everyone that works there so we met all sorts of interesting people. Al was just filling everyone in on Triple E Promotions too – thanks for all of the advertising! You just never know when you will land a job
Here are some pictures I took while we were out to dinner.
This is the gift shop. The actual restaurant is off to the left but I didn’t get a picture of it; the building is similar to this one.
Here is Warren & Hunter Standing in front of the cook shack. All the meat smelled sooooo good!
Factoid: Al built the chicken cooker a long time ago and they are still cooking away on it.
Here is Kim! She is usually a blur in photos b\c she is always in a state of movement! This time I got her and the only thing blurry is her earring that is still moving. She is visiting with a longtime friend in the gift shop.
And here is a picture of the boys in the gift shop. 3 generations of Espinolas standing there. I think Hunter is just about the same height as Papa Al !
We went into have our dinner after all the visiting and it was dark by the time we came out. I did get one picture of an outside wall that had a bunch of neat antique implements on it. It looks like old tack and maybe a bed warmer there in the middle.
That’s all for now – more on our visit with Kim & Al tomorrow.
