DITL : Dolphins, Beach, Tacos & Sopapilla Cheesecake Recipe

I know Cinco de Mayo is really just another reason to get drunk in the US.  It's basically like St. Patrick's Day.  No one really knows what were celebrating, but major alcohol is called into play.  

My husband and I didn't drink anything.  However, we did create a Mojito Video for the holiday.  

We did have Tacos though!  How very festive of us!

And I made Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars.  (I googled Mexican Desserts and this one sounded great)

It was really easy too!  

You can see the Sopapilla Cheesecake being made at 7:24 in the video below.

The Husband & I went to party this weekend in the neighboring city of Casey Key.  We had a little time to spare before the party, so, we took a little drive over to The Jetties.  

The water and weather were absolutely gorgeous this weekend.  

Altogether, I would say my husband and I had a great weekend.  How was yours spent?!
