Pops, Dogs, Beer and More!

So what a great change Friday night brought about. The Florida Orchestra was giving a free concert in the park Friday night, so Adam and I packed a bottle of wine and some gourmet treats grabbed a blanket and enjoyed an evening of music under a clear sky. It was very nice and a great date night. Saturday brought about another beautiful day. After Adam made a batch of blueberry muffins we loaded up the dogs and headed to fort De Soto. I was determined to take these pups swimming! Jordan had only been when she was younger and bruiser only in a pool...so it was interesting. Bruiser, being the tough guy he thinks he is was on a leash the whole time and getting him in the water required dragging and carrying. But he did his best to swim back to shore as quickly as he could. And after some coaxing with Jordan she actually would come in swim in a circle and then swim back. I was very proud of her.

After the beach, it was time for baths and Adam went to work cleaning and scrubbing and presenting two fluffy soft doggies! Then it was time for the most anticipated part of the weekend...Beer Fest! We had VIP tickets which allowed us to enter 2 hours earlier and their was food pairing, discussions...and more! And what a food spread! we were expecting cheese, pretzels...but we ended up with everything from beef tenderloin to toll house cookies, which by the way were AWESOME with the "milky" beer. We had a good time trying beers (BELLS TOO!) and listening to the band...well short of us disagreeing on events when we first met, but with that much beer that's bound to happen. :) We ended up calling it a night when the festival ended instead of meeting up with friends...it was just too much and I'm getting old.

Sunday brought church, after much pondering, a little bit of football for Adam reading for me and then the beach. Now going to the beach is a love that Adam and I both share. However for different reasons. Adam like to be very active at the beach I like to read, tan and sleep. This being said I did my best to keep Adam entertained, since his attention span is short. I did my best attempt at playing Frisbee, we each won a game of bacche ball and I attempted to build a sand sculpture...i just got really sandy...no thanks to a certain someone.
After a trip to both Target and Walmart in search of Halloween stuff we headed back to his apt for dinner and a good game of domino's!
It was a great weekend and I got to spend some much needed time with my busy boyfriend. And of course the best news...(i don't really care) the RAYS WON!!
