Route 66 Road Trip → Cadillac Ranch • Amarillo, Texas

March 2, 2022

The Cadillac Ranch was a must stop for us! We spent two nights in Amarillo. Arriving late, after 10 o’clock. The eating places were closed. But a bar was open across from the hotel. We assumed we could get food there but in Texas bars can just serve booze. Anyhow, next time we do it.Read the Post

The space was magnificent with lights strung through the trees like in a movie. When we were doneRead the Post

Pip Pip Cheerio!

Did ya know “pip pip” mimics the double honk on an early 20th century motorcar? It's an upperclass British colloquialism for farewell. 🎩 I learned that because we're Downton Abbey superfans!

well done @milesdejiles 😘
Went to Barca last night. The staff couldn’t hav Went to Barca last night. The staff couldn’t have been nicer! We had a great time. 

It’s a small plate concept. We shared everything. But some favorites emerged. Miles really liked the BEEF TENDERLOIN with tomatoes, red wine, shallots, garlic, & jalapeños. And by far my fav was the JAMÓN SERRANO CROQUETAS with manchego & aleppo-orange honey. On my list to try next time are the STUFFED DATES with blue cheese, jamón serrano, & olive oil — they sound delish! 

It’s packed most of the time. But Tuesday around 4 o’clock we were seated straight away. It was pretty full by the time we left. We were conscious not to linger. But they never made us feel rushed. And they were super welcoming to the furry princess! 

Have ya been? Will ya go? Let us know! And follow us for more in Old Town.🍍⚓️💛

Think I’ll do better playing photographer for the blessing of the fleet tomorrow? Stay tuned!

We’ve had a lot of strollers. And this Roodo is We’ve had a lot of strollers. And this Roodo is by far the best to go out dining with! It’s got a really small footprint without sacrificing space for the furry princess. And it was by for the easiest one to put together — it came folded like an umbrella and we just popped on wheels. 

Link to it on our blog. And you can link to that in our bio.

We had a leisurely lunch at Chart House, toasting Miles! Sipped a nice pale pink rosé in the shade and people watched in between courses. Limited menu compared to the olden days. But it was tasty. 

I love you so much @milesdejiles — thanks for sharing your day with us! 😘
