Birthday & Oktoberfest 2013




Hello again! The Fall season is finally upon us! Among other things, this means that two big events are here... Tim's birthday and Oktoberfest. We've written before about our adventures at the yearly German festival here in Nashville, and we went back again this year just to make sure the beer was still tasty. Spoiler alert, it was! In addition to being a great way to spend a Saturday, we can also sleep soundly knowing that the proceeds of the event go towards the restoration of  the historic Assumption Catholic Church and Monroe Street United Methodist Church. We'll mostly let the pictures speak for themselves, but suffice is to say that there were lots of food and craft vendors, musical acts, and of course beer! What's not to like?!  This year we went with our friend Kelsey, who I stole all these pictures from.  Thank you Kelsey!






 Oktoberfest was on Saturday and Tim's birthday was on Saturday. It was probably for the best that we were able to spread things out over two days, because Oktoberfest requires a full day's worth of energy! On Sunday we hit the lanes with a couple friends, and then went out to dinner.  Not pictured here, Kelsey and Adrian bowling strike after strike!   

The approach....

Nice form!

Final Scores - Tim won! 
So that's all for now! There is no doubt that Fall is upon us and for that, we are both grateful. We savor this time of the year with all the wonderful things it entails: red Starbucks cups, pumpkin-flavored everything, pumpkins, no more sweating, comfy clothes, big pots of hearty stews, and of course the reuniting of family over the holidays. With so much to look forward to, we hope this post finds you in good spirits! Until next time...
