Friday Fun Link – 24 Glorious Ways To Drink More Tequila #ThePalaceLife

I’ve never been a big fan of tequila. In fact, Shea and I have a bottle we brought back from one of our earliest Mexico trips around fifteen years ago that we had never cracked. Never cracked, that is, until, after a summer that ended with a bunch of tequila shots plus knowing we were […]
