Weekend Update

It was a glorious weekend weather wise.  The sun was out, the birds were singing, the sky was blue and A and I spend as much time outside as we possibly could.

Friday after A got home from work, we found that a new geocache was posted.  We threw on our shoes, grabbed our GPS and headed towards the cache.  It wasn’t long before some other local cachers joined us and soon, we had 6 people looking for it.  For those of you who know anything about caching, it was a micro (maybe even a nano) that was a 5-star.  This thing was evil and no one that day found it!  We’ll be back though.

 Afterwards, we went to a local brewery that just opened down the street about a month ago.  It’s got our attention because the name of the brewery is called Black Raven.  That’s the name of one of A’s businesses; Black Raven Enterprise.  So naturally, we had to check it out.  Since they are still new, they dont serve any food, and they still have a small selection of their beers, but the ones they do have are really good.  We definitely found our favorite though; a Kristale Wheat Beer:

(from website)  The Kristale is a filtered German style wheat beer [Kristallweizen] that is rarely produced in the US. Light in color and alcohol, the Kristale features subtle banana and clove components layered onto a flavorful wheat and pilsner malt base. This is our lightest style beer and perfect for

 warmer weather. Who says you have to give up flavor to enjoy a lighter style beer? Not with the Kristale! 

Mmmm, it was SOOO good!  We’ll definitely be back!  We bought some beer to go and came home and made some burgers.  Beer and burgers… now there’s a meal my dietitian would approve of!! :P

Saturday A and I went bike riding on some trails nearby and happened to stop at a few geocaches along the way.  We hit 5 for 5 that day!  Later, we got dressed and went to this new area called The Landing.  It’s this new area where they have restaurants and shopping.  It’s pretty fun down there but still new.  We had a snack at the wine bar; a glass of wine and some bruschetta.  Doesn’t it look Delicious?

Sunday was another glorious day!  We went downtown to the 5^th annual cheese festival.  There were tents and tents of free cheese samples from all different vendors.  It was soooo crowded as expected so we didn’t take a ton of cheese, but we had enough to satisfy our pallets.  While down there, we also did 3 more cache’s.  8 found cache’s this weekend, not to shabby!

 We came home and A planted some more things in his garden; strawberries, lettuce, onions, watermelon, and round 2 of the bell peppers and basil.  We’re going to have some good eats this fall!!

Next weekend... JEN VISITS!  We're looking forward to that!  :)
