Tacos, Burritos, Enchiladas... OH MY!

Joe and I found this fun Mexican food restaurant called Carlos n' Charlie's.

Not only is the food good but you get entertained while you wait for your food to arrive and while you eat. The wait staff have choreographed dances to certain songs and completely stop what they are doing to perform. Any customer that wants to join in can to. It's pretty noisy inside, a live DJ plays alot of popular songs that everyone knows so you can join in a sing a long too!!

We weren't prepared with our camera as we didn't realize dinner was going to be sooooo entertaining) so these pics were taken with Joe's phone... excuse the blurriness.

Here are two of the waiters dancing on the chairs.


Our waitress made guacamole table side for our appetizer.

Joe and I ordered tacos and they make you wear these silly bibs... I now know NOT to order the tacos. (just kidding they were very tasty)
The bibs say "I'M EATING TACOS"


This waiter delivered a beer to the table next to us using his head...


I checked them out online when we got home and there is only one other location in the US and it is in TX all other 5 locations are in Mexico...

It was a really cool place that we will definitely be visiting again... I'll have to remember to wear my dancing shoes! LOL :~)

ADIOS AMIGOS (English translation = GOODBYE FRIENDS )

"Visitors"

We had surprise "visitors" the other morning... 3 Sandhill cranes were in our backyard. We usually see them on the golf course near the house or by the little lake across the street... But this was really cool to see them so close. They are not afraid of people and have a very unique sound.




I think they look similar to the blue herons in AZ but bigger and taller. They didn't stay too long once the dogs started to bark at them...Oh well! Thanks to Joe with his camera phone at least we got the pics before they flew away.

Got Ink?

So Joe and I went to do something exciting together... We both got tattoos. It has been something I have been wanting to do for awhile now and Joe wanted to get another one. We both got tattoos that represent our astrological signs.

We went to a place in Winter Springs called Steel Quill Tattoo. It was extremely clean inside and they have all necessary sterilizing equipment. They open all of the needles and sterilized pieces in front of us so we know it is safe and clean... No need to worry Mom :)

Here is Joe's finished tattoo... A bull on his shoulder (Taurus).


I got 2 butterfly koi fish and the Pisces sign on my lower back! The colors are amazing. Joe took a few pics of the process...

This is the tattoo on paper... it then becomes the stencil.

After putting the stencil on Mike makes sure it is centered...

Now assuming the position... I was surprised that it did not hurt at all. It is hard to describe what it feels like... kind of an annoying burning feeling but with NO pain.


This is Mike, our tattoo artist. He drew both of them... very talented. All the guys at the shop were very cool...and hilarious.

And the finished result...

The colors are very vibrant... I told him blue and purple and he chose the shades. The Pisces sign in the middle he left as a shaded outline since the main focus is the fish. I may need to name them since they will be with me FOREVER... any suggestions?

I absolutely love it!! I understand why people get more than one... it's addicting. What will be next... a dragonfly maybe :)
