Burlington trip

Last week we went up to Burlington to visit friends and also our favorite restaurants! We had a blast, and are so glad we had the fun opportunity to see Curt and Katie and to visit with Zech and Jaina (they are our friends who got us started homebrewing! We are so grateful!), and meet little Cal. I was determined to finish up the Peru posts before posting this one, but I'm almost done with that.

First thing Saturday, we headed to our favorite brunch spot.



We met Zech and Jaina there, and we also got to meet Cal - he was born in December and apparently has slowed down their brewing a bit. :)



That was all we saw of him, he was very polite and let his mommy and daddy chat and exchange 6-packs without interrupting.

We are looking forward to seeing Zech and Jaina again soon.



Lilly got to play with her best friend Sydney. They have their disagreements but love to hang out together. Katie got them both Valentines Day scarves, which they loved.







Syd likes to wear hers like a babushka.



She showed off some of her tricks!





Lilly was a little unsure about the hoop.



Sometimes its hard to tell who's who!

Let me tell you a secret...



Now let me eat your face.



Tully would rather watch the fun from her mommy's arms.



We enjoyed some coffee and watched the girls play.



Then on Sunday afternoon after the car wash (which Lilly did NOT enjoy),



we headed to a brewery.



We had to go to Harpoon Brewery in Windsor, VT, as it was on the Vermont Beer Passport. It was a very cool place, relaxed and cozy atmosphere, and of course, yummy beer.









We had lunch there, too, which was tasty. I had tuna melt with onion rings.



Chris had a vermonter - apples, turkey, onions, mustard. Yum!



And the best part - we finally finished our passports! This was the last stop on our beer tour of Vermont!



Now we get to send in the passport and we'll see what our Collector's Set of Vermont Beer Gear is all about. I'll keep you updated!

On the way home we saw a place we thought was a homebrew store:



Ha ha.

The worst part was the drive home, as always. No traffic, just long. Can't wait to head back up there again, and we're looking forward to hopefully getting a cabin with curt and katie in March!
