🇲🇽LET’S CELEBRATE HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH 🇲🇽LET’S CELEBRATE HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH WITH @drinkpicadas
One thing I don’t talk about is that I often travel solo. On my recent road trip, I decided to bring along my parents for a well-deserved getaway to one of my favorite places in Texas, San Antonio!
I introduced them to one of my favorite Hispanic-owned businesses @drinkpicadas, they are Mexican-made hard aguas frescas. My dad enjoyed the mango flavor and my mom loved the guava flavor and said it was so good she didn’t even know it had alcohol in it! 
I treated them to a nice family dinner, and introduced my mom to Mezcal, that watermelon cocktail was delicious! I convinced my dad to share the Tomahawk with me even though he said it was too much. Spoiler alert, not one piece was left.
And lastly, we made sure to spend some time relaxing by the pool, the hot tub, and the lazy river! Safe to say I had an amazing getaway with my parents and I can’t wait to bring them along on my next adventure! Cheers to spending time with family!
Thanks to Picadas for sponsoring this post!
