Today we took a break from our intensive photo scanning, family history writing activities and joined friends Mary and Steve for a journey to Mills River, NC snd a tour of the state of the art Sierra Nevada brewing facility. Besides the opportunity to learn more about the history of this family owned and run brewing operation and beer brewing in general, we got to enjoy the product from sipping Pale Ale while watching the movie to sampling eight different styles at the end of the tour to sharing a Porter while enjoying small plates in the Taproom afterwards. The tour requires advance reservations but is well worth the effort. Thanks M&S, for making this adventure happen. We had a great time!
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
