oktoberfest in september?? shouldn't we call it septemberfest??
so this weekend was a nice recovery from last week. thursday and friday weren't so bad because granny was doing a lot better (*whew* i didn't kill her) but i did have to sit in the hospital all day... booorrrinnnggg.... so when friday evening rolled around i literally ran out of the hospital singing, drove to my mom's house, rescued my dylan dog and sped toward home. it felt so good to walk into my house... it was clean, smelled good, no clutter, no crap... i almost fell down and kissed the floor. eventually i came to my senses and just relaxed for the evening.
so we left around noon on saturday for helen, ga. it was the official first day of oktoberfest so we wanted to miss the parade which started at noon as well and get in town after that. we started off our bar crawl at a place on the river which i think was called paul's. but i could be wrong. you could buy a big 32 oz. plastic mug full of beer for $7 and then you get to keep the mug (souvenirs rock!) and refill for only $5. it was a recipe for drunkenness if i've ever seen one. throw a number of rounds of jaegar shots on top of that and we were feeling pretty good by the time we left. we managed to make it to two other bars that evening, laugh at a person in liederhosen (no idea how to spell that), eat brautwurst, and fall over a number of times. it was good times. so here is our group at the last place of the evening... we were all feeling a little sassy by this time, hence the pose...
