BIER Mountain and Laura’s

Good morning everyone!!  So…I didn’t post yesterday…mainly because I was exhausted, and sore, and a little drunk.  That, and we wanted to watch Once Upon a Time…so there was no posting…sorry

Yesterday, was one of Greg’s first Sundays off in what seems like FOREVER…so we went up to Bear Mountain for some hiking, and walking around.  It was a beautiful fall day, and we wanted to take FULL advantage of it.  We got up there around 11am, and learned that it was also Oktoberfest…which meant a LOT of beer, and food, and music…and fun-ness…but it didn’t really start until 12pm.

So…we began to hike…started with some stairs made of rock…and we just kept going…until we reached about half-way up the mountain…we were LITERALLY climbing the mountain on stairs, and I had just about had enough…my hips hurt, my knees hurt, and I couldn’t do it anymore…so Greg bribed me with some beer (yay!), and we went back down the mountain, walked right over to Oktoberfest, and grabbed some beers (Stiegl & Franziskaner among others) and food.  YUM!!!  We had an AMAZING day – talked about everything, did our fair share of judging (LOL)…and just relaxed…

I took a lot of pictures yesterday, but here’s the highlights…notice the little Bavarian boy…had to take a picture of him – he was just so friggin’ cute!!!

We left around 3pm because we had to get to a friend’s housewarming party…we BARELY made it off the mountain, and it started to rain…half-way off, it started to HAIL.  Um…what?  Weird…here’s a picture of that…

We finally make it to Laura’s…well, Laura’s boyfriend’s new place.  Super cute, right?  It’s a magnet on his fridge…awe

Then there were goats…don’t ask, because even I don’t have an explanation…LOL

So we had a pretty amazing Sunday – I was really thankful that Greg had off – it was awesome   Have a great week, everyone!!
