On our way to eat lunch at Isabel Pearl

Spending our tokens at the Oregon Brewer's Festival

This was taken under one of the tasting tents

I was harnessing my inner hippie, and Dust was harnessing his inner thug Ha!

This weekend was spent at the Brewer's Festival and in the Pearl.  Friday we had lunch at Isabel Pearl, which quite possibly had the best tofu I've ever tasted.  That evening we headed over to the Oregon Brewer's festival where brewers from all over the country came to let us sample their delights.  Dustin covered the darkest beers, and I handled the lighter options.  We think there were about 30-40,000 people that were in attendance.  I will say it was a better reason to gather than swollen toads at Toad Suck Daze.  Hehe.  We ate dinner at our favorite Italian spot, Mama Mia.  The rest of the weekend we've just been hanging 10, Dustin has been applying for jobs, and I've been laid up in bed sick.  Yuck.  This week we don't have much planned, Dustin will be job searching, and I'll be studying for my ServSafe course.  

I would like to recognize Dustin's father today.  It was two years ago today that he passed away from pancreatic cancer, and although I never had the opportunity to meet him, I know that his presence remains strong inside Dust and his family.  Lots of love to Steve Thompson!!
