SparkCon

SparkCon was this weekend in downtown Raleigh. We all drove down to look at the display of chalk art on the street. Nora's art teacher was there and pointed out that four students from her school participated this year and she encouraged Nora to do so in next year's SparkCon. Here is a link to some of the picture we took.

Stone Brewing

Tyler's Taproom in Durham, NC hosted a release party tonight for Stone Brewing Co. My babysitter bailed on me so I took the kids and went with two friends to enjoy some of the best micro beer you can find. Stone is based in Escondido, CA and their beers are only available in limited states at this time. Fortunately this release party marks Stone's availability in North Carolina. Click here to view some pictures I took. I apologize that several of the pictures didn't turn out that well.
