It begins.....

Got to our VRBO, it's brand new and really nice but "air conditioning" means some weird moveable unit on the main floor.  We are all upstairs so it was hotter than hell.  Or maybe it was the fact that I went to bed (passed out) without having any water after our beer day.  Whose to say?

In any case, it's a great place, except for that.

First stop - Great Notion for apps and beers.  They were good.  It's a good thing I like IPAs because of the 19 beers they had on the menu...14 were IPAs.  Fourteen.  FOURTEEN.  So I got a sampler and told her to surprise me with IPAs.  They were pretty good.  As were the wings and brussels sprouts and loaded waffle fries.

Lots of beer sampled, only Brett just went for it.  It was an awesome way to start!!

Next stop:  Imperial Bottle Shop and Tap Room.  They had mini cornhole, and guess what!!??  They had The Commons on tap!  Flemish Kiss.  One of my faves.  Happy that they are still brewing somewhere...

We tried to play cards with Lynette's deck - our first play of Crazy 8s was me putting the Ace of Clubs on top of Lynette's...Ace of Clubs.  ???   Abandon.   Then we played dominoes - different post on that in a minute.

Afterwards we hit one of our favorite pizza places:  Apizza Scholls.  DELISH.  Great beers, great pizza, great music!   And I forgot to take pictures of any of it.  Oy.

Finished up at Belmont Station - at which point Lynette and I were basically asleep at the table. 

Good first day.  Good.  First.  Day.
