Leavenworth

Back in October Adrian and I got sometime away from our son George and headed east to the town of Leavenworth for Oktoberfest. Adrian will tell you that entertainment was provided by endless quantities of beer, and we did have a great time. However, even though we were childless for the weekend we somehow ended up in bed every night before 11pm. I know it's sad. Being parents has made us tired, even while on vacation. Above is a picture from our hotel room. We got lucky with good weather, so our 10 minute walks to the beer tent weren't too bad.

The first night we were there it was just Adrian and I. Adrian entered a yodeling contest. Well he thought it was going to be a strong man contest where the last man holding his beer straight out wins. That is the only reason he went up there to give it a try. And I know you all wondering...Adrian didn't win the yodeling, but he was a close second according to me.

We had dinner at King Ludwig's. Some nice pork products, a polka band, and oh yeah the St. Pauli Girl. Adrian got a autographed poster for George.

Saturday we made it into town for 5 minute parade.

After lunch some friends joined us for wine tasting. Now you may be thinking that the only reason we went was for the beer, but really we like to change it up. Of course this ended in us buying wine, including a case from one of the tasting rooms.

A happy bunch of people

We spent Saturday night dancing to pop songs sent to a polka beat with Rob and Jess.

Many of you know Adrian isn't into dancing so he spent his time sleeping.

Of course we had to try this.

Greetings From Leavenworth!

All in all it was a great time and we'll be doing this again next year for anyone that wants to join us.
