GABF

More beer festivals. We got our tickets to GABF (Great American Beer Festival) - we are going to the saturday afternoon members only session. We actually have 4 tickets (I think) so we have room for 1 more - Jeff's dad will be coming with us. Hooray! How lucky are we to live in the city that hosts this great event? As much as we love to volunteer as beer pourers, this really isn't happening anymore now that we have a little one
