Oktoberfest + Fall Break



A few weekends ago, Tamara, Dave, Brandon and I all headed up to Snowbird for the annual Oktoberfest. We love it there! Let me tell you, they have delicious food like sauerkraut, brats, potato cakes with applesauce and sourcream, and of course, delicious locally-brewed beer. We listened to polka until we could not take it any longer and soaked in the beautiful scenery.
Tamara and Dave - Dave is an adventurer...we just can't keep his eyes off of the peaks that he wants to go climb.




So...tomorrow is the beginning of Fall Break from school, so to celebrate, Tamara, Dave, Brandon and I are off to explore Napa Valley and San Francisco for the entire week! Yay! Now, you may be wondering how in such tough economic times we can afford a week long trip to Califiornia. Well, let me tell you...we can't. This is what happens when you plan a trip 6 months ahead of time and book hotels and plane tickets and then realize six months later that there's no way that this trip fits into your budget. That's when you laugh with nervous laughter and say, um...oh well! Let's go to Napa Valley and San Francisco! Wooowooo! So, we are off on a heroic journey to pump money into the failing economy. Okay, but seriously, we are super excited and all really need a vacation. I'll be back in one week's time to post pictures of our trip! Peace out!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I know that I totally ignored you when we should have gotten together this week! I'm sorry it just got so busy, whenever I read you blog I think "oohh, I want to see her" and then I didn't even try this week:( I'll be back for Christmas so if you're in town lets make plans ahead of time so it gets done. And if you're ever kickin' it in Alb. be sure to stop by :) Have a blast in Cali, what better way than to soothe the worries of your bank account by leaving it all behind! Can't wait to see pics!

Danielllllllllllllle! Don't go! Wait, take me instead of Brandon! Not that my funds situation is better than yours, just that my company would be better. OK, not better. Shorter. Mine would be shorter. And less cuddly. But I'm not afraid to snuggle while I'm unconscious!

Hi Danielle. Thanks for visiting our blog & thanks for pointing out the spelling error. WTF? You should be a book or newspaper editor in another life. Seriously though. How did no one else catch that? Im sad I missed OctoberFest again this year. Next year you must all remind me. I will make the trip. Have a great time in CA suckers. xoxoxox. peace.
