Brewery Tour

So back on Tuesday I called the radio station to win 2 tickets on a luxury motorcoach brewery tour for Saturday and I won! SO then my goal was to either find a babysitter so Steve could go with me or find a friend on short notice who could go with me! I was able to talk my sister Samantha into coming over with Boston for the afternoon.

On a side note....look at this proud soccer player! She almost looks like she enjoyed it, huh?

So Sam came over about 11:45 Saturday morning/afternoon and we headed over there, they had a bunch of people NOT able to make it so we scrambled to find other people to join us but really we had 30 minutes and obviously we don't know anyone who can drop everything that quickly for an afternoon! But oh well, we trucked on and met people on the bus who were really cool and ended up having

The first stop was Firetrucker in Ankeny, this is a cool place and our friend Baird plays here sometimes so another reason for you to check it out sometime! http://www.firetrucker.com/

 

Then we headed to Reclaimed Rails in Bondurant. Such a cool atmosphere and some of the wood is from the old Log Ride at Adventureland! The beer was good, they have TV's, a patio and stage for music. I would definitely go back! http://www.reclaimedrailsbrewing.com/#building

I could've taken pictures of the actual bar/brewery....but no, I took pictures of the pumpkins...tis the season!

 

Third stop was Confluence, which we have been to a couple times. Very laid back, good patio and beer, lots of cyclists, dogs, families. http://www.confluencebrewing.com/

 

Then we headed over to Exile, which always has good beer and food! http://exilebrewing.com/

 

Steve with our new friend Danny.

We got along so well with him and his wife Missy. We seemed to have a lot in common and hope that we can hang out with them again soon!

Some of the people that we met.

Me and Danny.

The last stop was Fox Brewery near Valley Junction www.foxbrewco.com/ and then we headed back to the radio station!

We got home about 6:30, fed the girls some dinner. Steve got his Slash Halloween costume ready for his nephews party that night in Earlham. So the girls wanted to wear it around a while!

She does make the perfect Slash!

Piper, not so much.

Rock on!

Presley was mad that Steve ate a whole row of Oreos, so they posed pouting. So funny! and then went we sent the picture to Steve.

Thank you to Samantha for watching the girls. Thank you to Boston for coming over and playing and wearing them out. Thank you to Steve for being my date. Thank you to Lyndsi for being my back-up date. Thank you to 92.5 for the tickets. And thank you to Presley and Piper for being good that night and going to be easy for me!
