Dad and I walked downtown to have dinner at Gulf Rim, a cute Gulf Coast-inspired restaurant right on Hillsborough’s main street.
Dad loves that he can get a 24 oz "Oil Can" beer for only $4.00
And I liked the Pinot Grigio!
I debated between a salad with salmon or shrimp on top and the tacos. Normally I’d get the "safer" salad, but tonight I decided since I’d eaten light today I’d get the blackened fish tacos. They were fun to eat, and the spices were amazing!
With a side of jicama slaw and black beans. I ate both tacos (one corn, one flour tortilla) and about 2/3 of both the beans and slaw.
Dad got a Rojo Beef with fried plantains and beans + rice. I had a bite of the beef – it tasted like jerky!
I’m off to read and relax. Mom and I might take a walk if she comes back from her girls’ night out soon enough. Otherwise, we’re California bound early tomorrow morning! I’m not sure if I’ll have time to post breakfast, but I’ll try. Otherwise, I’ll report from the West Coast

Your dinner looks amazing! Quick question about your lunch though….what kind of turkey do you buy? Most of it grosses me out….I would love to find one that I like:) Thanks.
Looks like you had a delightful dinner. Safe travels!
Yummy fish tacos!
The grinch on your pop is so cute!

I love when you post pics of your family Kath, your dad is so cute!
Have a great trip! Cant wait to read all about it
I love fish tacos! Was the fish breaded, or is the brown color from some kind of spice rub?
Have a great trip over to CA!!!! Now you’ll be making posts in the Pacific Time Zone, I’ll have to wait longer!
Enjoy the time with your family – and I just read your previous post, you and Matt seriously warmed my heart =] hehe
I have never had fish tacos, but those look so appetizing.
Have a safe trip to California!
Definitely enjoy CA! I’m a California girl, and even though I live in LA now, Northern California will always be my favorite.
Your Dad is so cute and you’re so beautiful!
Scrumptious dinner! Have fun in Cali, heading back in a few days myself!
Wow those fish tacos look great. I am going to keep an eye out for them.
Yesterday I had watermelon mint soup at a restaurant – my first cold soup. It was so delicious!
So fun you got to have a night with your dad and I love fish tacos! Have a great trip to San Fran!
Looks like you had a great time with dad!!
Your dad is so adorable!
And that dinner just looks amazing. I ADORE jicama. It just is so fresh and crisp–perfect for summer!

Ooooo! Dinner would be fun! Sorry I didn’t call this time, but I was only there for a few hours. Maybe later this summer I’ll come spend a few days with mom and call you and Jessica up!
