Georgetown before Christmas.
Just the dogs.
Enough outside fun, let's open gifts.
Looking for something.
Not sure what.
Santa hat photos are a must.

My Fav
I love this commercial. It could be the best Christmas commercial ever. The music. The emotion. It perfectly captures the excitement of Christmas mornings now long gone, but still to come with Santi.

Craft Orlando, Ctd.
Some more Orlando beer stuff.
We having lunch with Dad and Linda the day after Christmas, near Disney. I am going to push for lunch or at least a stop into Big River Grille & Brewing Works.
Cocoa Beach Brewing Company is close to Pop's. Maybe.
In nearby Mineola, these dudes might be worth a peek.
These guys have been around for awhile now, but I hardly ever see their beers when I visit Orlando. I WILL TRY some this time.

Craft Orlando
From Craft Austin:
Going to Orlando for Christmas next week. Time to check into what is going on beer wise lately in my home town.
This place is opening soon, not soon enough for our visit though:
There are a few World of Beers now in Central Florida, but luckily there is also one about five minutes from my parents' house. Nice.

And of course Knightly Spirits is close at hand. Actually it's not so close now, damn! They moved 15 minutes further away.
I need to finally check out this place.
Going to Orlando for Christmas next week. Time to check into what is going on beer wise lately in my home town.
This place is opening soon, not soon enough for our visit though:
January 28 has been set for the grand opening of Shipyard Brewery & Emporium, the brewpub/cafe from the Maine-based beer maker. You can expect a soft opening before that date, but no decision has been made as to when customers will be accepted.
Shipyard Emporium will be at 200 W. Fairbanks Ave. in Winter Park in the building that most recently held Strollo’s Cucina Due. It was also the site of the original Dexter’s of Winter Park. Shipyard will brew its own beers on the premises, but only in small batches.
The cuisine part of the operation will be under the direction of Joslyn Tusa, a graduate of Southeastern Culinary Academy. No menu has been set, according to Shipyard spokeswoman Tami Kennedy, but the official logo, seen here, refers to the Emporium as a "market, bakery & brew pub." Tony Adams of Big Wheel Provisions had previously been attached to the project but is no longer.
I mean it's Shipyard, but it will still be cool to check out next time I am down there.

Best Mexican Restaurants in Texas, Again
Remember Texas Monthly's list of best Mexican Restaurants in TX? Yeah, you do. Well, one of them is in Brownsville. A place we've never been to, called Taqueria Rico's. Texas Monthly was right. It was bloody tasty. I can't wait to go back.
Eric and Leti had been there before. They took us directly there. Santiago and the suegros followed soon after.
As far as I could see they served no beer, but they did have this sign on the wall. Maybe it's BYOB.
Ugh. Awesome!
Santi liked the food of course. He likes everything, but he absolutely loved the attractions.

This x 3 = chillin.
Santi killed it as usual.
Then play time with the agua.
He was obsessed with the hose the whole time we were there. I'm sure he doubled the Del Castillo's water bill for November.

Apparently, Not the Best Cocktail/Beverage Blog in Austin
No not us. Thank god not these guys. The winner was Tipsy Texan. Congratulations!
How do I close a blog? Dump this, I'm going to start a scene blog. Actually, at the party I did have someone ask me if they could take over my blog as an arts and crafts blog. That sounds interesting.

Treeing
This is out of order, still have not put up ALL the Thanksgiving photos we have. Here is a little Christmas for you.
Santi, pre tree shopping, sizing up the perfect size tree we need.
No, those are too big.
There we go, Santi sized.
