Yesterday, Beer Geek and I got to attend the Great Taste of the Midwest for the first time. We’ve wanted to go for years, but getting tickets involves a lottery, camping out overnight or having connections. Finally, we found a connection. ;o) (You didn’t think I actually camped out overnight, did you? I’m way too old for that. LOL)
Halfway through the fest, we decided to take a break from the heat by going back to the hotel. We decided to take the scenic route…
I learned quickly that I will never run a trail race. Muddy path + tree root + a few beers=
Thankfully, I had a change of clothes back in the room. We headed back to the event, drank some more beers, and managed to make it to last call. We then headed back to the hotel for a dip in the pool and some hot tub time with some guys who work for Founders Brewery.

So fun! Great pics and narrative! Looks like you are enjoying a very well deserved vacation!
You had me at deep fried cheese curds ;)All kidding aside, I think you'd do great with trail races. Sans beer, of course.
What? No brats?
You and beer geek are too cute! Sound like a nice weekend! Fried cheese curds? What the heck are those?
Sounds awesome! Love all the pics!
sounds like a truly good Wisconsin time — pretzels, beer, brats and cheese curds! Looks like you had a great time. Enjoyed all the pics! Can't believe I was there the next day for my 20 miler! And, the portopotties were absolutely disgusting from all you that guzzled down the brews!! ICK!
