It was a treat to meet Elliot in person, as well as his lovely wife, Emelia and his awesome daughter, Alex the Air Force warrior. Blake and Barbara joined us - Michael was in Colorado and (reluctantly) had to miss the good food and company. We ate at Paloma Blanca on a spring-like evening - the patio was a great setting for the margaritas and Mexican food.

Paloma Blanca is what might be called an "upscale" Mexican restaurant and patrons probably pay for the ambience as much as the food itself, but our patio table was lovely.

Here's a link to the Paloma Blanca website.

Before the guests arrive - look, we have a new dining table!

Barbara, Blake and Alex, who is set to deploy to the Middle East shortly

Margaritas and Mexican food - yum.

Alex and Barbara talk about - cars!! Specifically, they discuss Barbara's new hard-top convertible, which we get to see demonstrated after dinner.

Blake takes a photo of the Foodstock gang after the delightful meal - thanks everyone, and come back soon, Elliot!
