Christmas Vacation in Texas

in , , ,

We made the journey to Texas for the holidays, the highlight of which was spending time with family in both McAllen and Austin. Sal and the kiddos nerded out for an afternoon at SpaceX. The Tamez family knocked it out of the park with a muy Mexicana Noche Buena for which all the Cubes came out in full force. Unseasonably mild temps, even for Texas, made for many wonderful afternoons playing dominoes outside with the Abuelos and bike-riding. M+V and Mimi hosted what will likely be our last Christmas in Austin, and the cousins got to enjoy the full childhood Christmas experience. We returned to Zagreb with our hearts full and grateful for such fun memories.

Texas R&R 2021

in ,

In June we departed for R&R in Texas, our first time leaving Montenegro since we arrived a year ago. A few weeks in McAllen and Austin to reconnect with family and friends were just what we needed. We made and checked off a huge list of to-do's, which were really more like "to eats", including: Abu's ropa vieja and paella, Taco Palenque, Whataburger, Uchi, The Switch, Sap's, and Rositas al Pastor. A few trips to Central Market and HEB completed the trip. Oh and Target!
