We started the evening with a little beer run…
It wasn’t just any beer run…
‘Twas a trip to beer heaven!
Beer Run is actually the name of a bar/restaurant/beer store all in one! The selection is awesome, so we went for a pre-dinner drink. I ordered this barrel smoked bourbon stout from Bluegrass Brewing Co. and it was strong, sweet, and perfect!
I was also on the lookout for an interesting canned beer for a tubing extravaganza that’s taking place with some of my friends on Saturday. I found this watermelon beer and purchased it for the ride down the river.
After our beer, we met up with Kath‘s mother and law and Kanz’s brother who are visiting this weekend.
We walked over to a charming restaurant called Mono Loco for burritos (and bowls!) We started with Yucca fries covered in chicken and cheese.
My entrée was a burrito bowl with seared cod, rice, beans, yucca fries, pico, mixed greens and an avocado crema on the side. Oh man, this was sooooo good and I cleaned my plate. I would highly recommend this restaurant or encourage any attempts to recreate this bowl.
We’re back at home relaxing now and I’m being bullied into sharing my cookie from earlier…
Tomorrow is wide open until my train to DC in the afternoon. Night!

P.S. I’m really enjoying reading your blog so far–it’s fun to follow along with someone who is starting a blog at the same time as I am!

I also love that new watermelon beer they sell. When you get it on draft, it has a watermelon piece on the edge of your glass.
