Photos- With husband (2) and events in general

A background on the event I took pictures of:

Two of my bffs live in Baltimore. According to Google maps, this is a 2 hour drive from where I live. We've met a couple of times before in Delaware so we can see each other a bit more easily. A kind of long drive for a meal, but a great way to see friends who are farther away. Last time we were together, we decided to meet at Dogfish Head Brewery because we heard the tour there was great, and, hey it's in Delaware, which is in the middle for us. Within a week of the event, I looked up directions on Google Maps and discovered that the brewery is 2 hours and 15 minutes from my apartment. So much for meeting in the middle. Another reason we decided to meet somewhere instead of doing a weekend visit is that our February and March visits tend to get cancelled due to inclement weather. (Snowmageddon's real issue wasn't that it snowed for so long, but that clearing roads took forever; I wouldn't have been able to get near their neighborhood a week after it snowed.) Rather than having to miss out on a weekend of fun, it would be a day. So, naturally, it snowed. Not enough to keep us away (thanks, mild winter), but it snowed nonetheless.

We started off with a brewery tour:

I'm pretty sure this is the master brewer.

Our tour guide kind of reminded me of Forrest Gump, what with the full beard and the plaid.

When you tour a brewery on a weekend, the bottling section is pretty boring.

This wood is so hard, you can shoot it with a pistol and not leave a mark. One of their beers is aged in a barrel made of it.

Treehouse, what!?

Then we went to Dogfish Head Brewings and Eats in Rehoboth. Good food and good beer. I highly recommend it. Plus, they're super-hippies. They feed local animals with leftover grains from their beer making, and then buy meat and dairy from the farmers they sell the grains to and use it in the restaurant. So my short ribs came from a cow that ate grains used to make the beer I drank.

Then, since we were in Rehoboth and it was wintry mixing and dark, we decided to go to the beach. This is how you get ready to go to the beach when it's 35 degrees outside:

Don't want to get sand on your jeans.
