Great Day with Family & Friends

 Well excuse my human he is having a rant over something on TV. My human/Dad whatever you want to call him gets excited over politics but I still hang out in his lap. The look on Bruno's face. LOL

 

Once Dad calms down I jumped down and go take a nap on the couch. All that excitement tends to wear me plum out. LOL

David was searching the web for something and came across several breweries and a winery in Bastrop which he emailed me and Pamela last week saying maybe we could go one day. Pamela came back quickly with I'm off next Thursday we can go then. And the plans were made for us to meet her at 10am in Caldwell. Thursday 7/14 we picked her and her friend Chelsie up and we were off. We also invited our good friends the Jackson's and their daughter Jessica to go and we met in Bastrop at the Stem and Stone to start off with lunch. It's a craft beer, wine and eats.  David had a beer and the girls had wine. I was a good girl and drank water and later I drank a protein shake.  

Pamela, Chelsie and Jessica seemed to hit it off and talked up a storm.  Of course they enjoyed the stories that David and Kevin talked about from their high school days and Taco Bell. Jessica had some good questions for them too. 

After lunch we went to the Colorado River Winery. I already have a bottle but I'll have to wait to drink it.  Everyone else did a tasting or a glass.  The owner was really nice and informative about the wines and the town. None of us had ever actually gone downtown.  

Our next stop was the Copper Shot Distillery. This place was pretty cool inside and out. We'll need to go back when they have music one weekend. Pamela and Chelsie got a flight of moonshine shots. 

And after decided on a drink. The one shot they all loved was the apple. It tasted like Apple cobbler they said. This is Chelsie. She's also a nurse like Pamela.

David got a drink called the El Fuego which caught his eye when he was looking on facebook but I'll be darn if I can find it now to tell you what it was. 

Pam and her daughter Jessica got Bloody Mary's and I can't tell you what Kevin got. Me, well I was still drinking water. It was been a fun day even without alcohol.

From here we went to a place called Bastrop Beer Co, imagine that. There was wet stuff falling from the sky as we walked there. It felt good and it brought down the temperature to a chilly 86. LOL. The 100+ degree days are awful so the temperature drop was great. Wow that was like refreshing.  Who would have thought that 86 was refreshing. Along one wall there was a long cooler filled with almost every kind of beer imaginable plus what they sold on tap. There was free popcorn and games available and they served pretzels and pickles. They even let you bring your own food in. 

Our last stop was 602 Brewing company. Nice place. They had their own beer plus others on tap. David and Jessica got a habanero pineapple margarita. Everyone decided to order something to eat while there. Tempura shrimp, Rueben bites(like egg roles), artichoke dip, and sausage plates. Everyone was having a good time talking, laughing and being silly.

It was a Great day with Family and Friends.

Just a quick day of adventures.

Until next blog....Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart
