Newport trip!

So the time has finally come and me and my wonderful wife get to take a vacation for an entire 5 days!  It's been quite a while since we've been able to get away for any length of time.  Kelly has never been to the Oregon coast so that makes this trip really special.  We will be departing from Lakeview on the 18th not to return until the 22nd.

There also happens to be a little brewery by the name of Rogue… maybe you've heard of it! This trip is destined to include a tour of the rogue brewery, some tastings of their spectacular beers, and dinner at their brewery restaurant.  From looking at their website it appears they have a distillery as well, I'm pretty sure we are going to have to check that out too.

We also plan to go to the aquarium and spend some time walking the boardwalk and visiting some of the many shops Newport has to offer.  Perhaps a delicious glass of home brew at one of the light houses is in order.. we shall see.  I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures and keep everyone up to date.

- "sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer i drink I feel ashamed - then I look in the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams.  If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered.  Then I say to myself, 'it is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than to be selfish and worry about my liver.'"
