Last weekend we attended the San Jose 2nd Annual Taco Festival. And while I didn’t quite understand why they charge $10/person for admission (on top of regular food prices), we still had a lot of fun.

(And we got to see Mexican wrestlers. Jack was a little confused about them.)

Jack and I had our first experience with Mexican chili powder on fruit, and I have to admit it wasn’t as horrible as I expected. Tyler and Jack ate meat tacos, and I found a couple vegan tofu and/or grilled veggie tacos to sample as well.

The event was held in a historic park, so we also took the opportunity to walk around several of the museums and old buildings. The silicon valley water history museum was our favorite. The weather was absolutely perfect. We have had incredibly mild weather lately (70-degrees and sunny), and I’ve been trying to savor every last bit of it before the heat rolls in.

As we were heading out we got a tiny salted caramel ice cream taco dipped in dark chocolate to split from Rocko’s Chocolate Tacos. They froze the ice cream and chocolate shell using liquid nitrogen, which Jack enjoyed watching. Rumor has Rocko’s is at the Palo Alto Farmer’s Market, so we may have to hit that up next Saturday for seconds. ;)
