Beer Fest!

We went to the Creative Loafing Brew U beer fest last night in St. Pete. We got a hotel a block away for free using Hilton Honors points. The bed was comfy, and we got free breakfast. The beer fest was fun. We paid for the VIP tickets which got us in at 6; it was nice because the crowds weren't as bad and we got some extra perks. The pic below is of the crowd after 8 when the non-VIP people came in. We got to try some new beers, chatted with Joey & Wayne from Cigar City Brewing for awhile and got free stuff from them (can't wait to try their brews!), I won a CD from 93.3 somehow since I took about 5 minutes to name three artists they play (this was after being there a couple hours), chatted with several other really nice people, and we got to snack on some yummy food. We left a bit after 9 and both were asleep by 10 - we're so old!

We drove home this morning with the convertible top down - what a GORGEOUS day it is! My friend Jill watched the puppies - she said they were GOOD when she came over. She wasn't really sure what happened to them since they usually spazz and jump all over their Auntie Jill! They were back in full-force when we got home though - they were happy to see mommy and daddy!
