Closer to 30

Yesterday I turned one year closer to 30 and had a great day with my boys. They were incredibly thoughtful in their choice of gifts (a Dunkin' Donuts shirt and an under cabinet CD/Radio for the kitchen so Trey and I can continue to have our cooking/dancing dinners). We tried a local pancake house for breakfast - Trey was rebelling all pictures until he had some pancakes.


Later that day we visited a local microbrewery for a tour and tasting. It was a little shady compared to Great Lakes and what we were expecting after touring there a few years ago. The guide was less than exciting - so Trey entertained himself by taking pictures - the next two are all him! We did walk away with some pretty decent new brews to enjoy at home.

After the tour and tasting we ventured back to our favorite place - Busch Gardens. We had dinner at Das Festhaus and we happened to sit down right before a performance of German songs and dancing (and a lot of Polka that made me smile to remember my Grandpa - the Pennsylvania Polka, the Beer Barrel Polka...all the best ones!).

It was awesome how when they got to stage the band was raised up above and the dancers could dance below - definitely something we missed last year and I'm glad we caught this year - it was very unexpected!

The night ended with an amazing ride on Griffin's front row. I'm there in the front on the left waving at my boys! Can't wait to ride some more today!
