Brewing

Dan loves to brew beer. I thought I would also love to brew. As it turns out, I lose interest in the 5+ hour long process really quick. By now, we have come to the realization that brewing is best done when I am out of town :)

We made an exception this past weekend. My girlfriend Hillary and her man-friend joined us. I must say, it was pretty fun. We stopped midway for a mexican food/margarita lunch. I think that is a necessary step in the process.

Just a few more weeks until the India Amber Ale (IAA) is ready, but fair warning, we put a ton of hops in the there!

Mt. Sanitas and Farmer's Market

Today was going to be a stay and home and get school work done day, but after breakfast our friends Alex and Courtney called and wanted to see if we wanted to join them for a hike and lunch and the farmer's market. Uh...of course! The high was 80 degrees! It was wonderful. We met them at the trailhead of Mt. Sanitas. Three doggies (Rylee, Moose, and Jack) and we were off. I really love that hike and am kind of embarrassed that after living in Boulder for 6 years, I only first hiked the trail last year.

The farmer's market was awesome..first one of the season and it was worth the wait. There isn't really much produce yet for purchase, but the vendors for lunch are always delicious. Dan and I had our go to lunch....fresh squeezed lemonade and dumplings from Sister's Pantry. YUM!
