hops, fires, bikes and flowers!

last weekend was wonderful.

we biked down to an international beer festival at the navy yard (super cool).

our favorite beer turned out to be a hoppy local number from the Manayunk Brewing Company!

the beer fest featured buckets to dump leftover beer samples into. i became fixated watching people continue to dump their beers into the buckets well beyond a reasonable meniscus. felt sorry for the crew that had to haul these out...

then we headed to becky and andrew's for a little bonfire action in their incredible garden

the next day we watched the bike race from a new vantage point along Kelly Drive;

Barry brought a boom box and provided riveting (and sometimes controversial) live commentary...

the weekend concluded with some lovely wildflowers jon gathered on a run.
