Morgan and Julia are opening a restaurant near The Inn Between called Gypsy Sally's, and Leah is here for the burgers and tex mex. The pair moved out to the Texas Hill country to provide their kids with open spaces and room to move and they're still managing multiple restaurants and a distillery. Morgan specializes in the hospitality business and loves being creative in his distillery making spirits with local plants. Julia is an artist, and has recently become interested in spinning yarn with fibers from local angora goats. Morgan and Julia are also talking about how they work together in all their business endeavors and some of the challenges they've had along the way.
