We're fortunate enough to be able to travel in our motorhome approximately 6-months of the year, mostly in the spring and fall.  We use this web space to share our experiences and photos with our friends and family. 

Rich & Donna's Top 10 Rules for Fine Dining

Like most people we like to eat out from time to time and when we do we like really casual, unpretentious places.  Over the years we've developed a list of rules for choosing a place to eat.  Therefore, with apologies to Letterman and Jeff Foxworthy:  A restaurant might be too fancy for us if...

10:  The water glasses have stems

9:  The table has an actual tablecloth (a laminated table top with a red and white checkerboard pattern is best)

8:  The napkins are made from cloth

7:  The menus do not have pictures of the food

6:  The ketchup and mustard are not in plastic squeeze bottles

5:  The food is served on square plates

4:  The word 'Restaurant' is spelled with an 'e" at the end.

3:  Something other than country music is playing on the jukebox. 

2:  There is no sign on the door saying 'No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service'

And the most important rule:  A restaurant is way too fancy for us if ...the wait staff is dressed better than us.

We recently stopped at the Amarillo Overnight Park, a park we've been in many times. Part of the attraction, for me anyway, is the park sits under the flight path for planes departing and arriving at the Rick Husband Intl Airport.  If i'm lucky the Texas Air National Guard is flying. I was lucky tonight.  He was no more than 300-500 feet above the park. they *should* charge extra for this!   Watch the video!!
