Just A Great Weekend...

Friday was Meghan's Fourth birthday [pictures]. Aside from enjoying the evening and celebrating the birthday, I get to remember the kids ages very easily for the next 3 months. You see, for these three months all the kids ages are "separated" by two years. Right now, it's 8, 6, 4 and 2. For the rest of the year, I struggle to remember if the kid has "turned" yet. I know - shame on me...

Saturday was special since I got a keg of my favorite local beer, Bellheimer Lord, the Premium Pils from the Bellheimer brewery. I believe all beer drinkers should not only have a "favorite" beer, but one brewed locally and maybe one for each country you enjoy beer from. This one definitely is my favorite in both "Local" and "Germany" categories... Until now, I had only tried it in the bottle. I have to tell you - in the keg or the bottle - this is one fine beer.

Sunday was just as good. It was Father's Day [pictures] and we took the whole family to the Woinemer Hausbrauerei, a great brewpub about half an hour from home. It's gotten to the point that we have to "scout" out large-family-friendly restaurants ahead of time, so we can actually go and enjoy a nice, not-so-quiet meal with the kids. This place definitely qualifies. Their brand new seasonal beer was a Pilsner. I really enjoyed it!
