Valentines Weekend

Peter and I took advantage of the long weekend and drove up to Cooperstown NY. It was a 6.5 hour drive, but totally worth it. Right from when we first drove in it was such a cute little town.

Sat we started off the day by going to the baseball hall of fame (the main attraction for the weekend). it was very interesting and very exciting to see the red sox memorabilia. My favorite was schilling's bloody sock. Don't worry, i took a picture.

Sat night we went to The Otesaga resort for dinner. Its closed for the weekend and opened just its ballroom for a special valentines day dinner. It was very cute. The food was AWESOME and they had live music which was very nice. The one odd thing was the singer...she kept talking about her unresolved father issues and eventually sang a song that summed up their relationship...The wind beneath my wings...it was awkward.

Sunday we went to the omegang and Cooperstown breweries. The omegang had really good beer. REALLY good. And the tour was cool b/c they were actually making stuff. We bought a lot there. The Cooperstown brewery was alright. The beer was only so so, then AFTER the tasting they took us on the tour where they casually mentioned that to clarify the beer they put in swim bladder EEEEEEEEEEW also making not vegetarian. wtf. I've been on MANY brewery tours and done my own fair amt of research, and i knew this existed but i was pretty sure legit breweries didn't do that anymore. On the plus side their bottling machine was really cool.

Monday we drove around the lake which was totally frozen and had ice fishers all along it. It was really pretty but time to leave town, so we continued out and went to Scranton for lunch with kelly. That was fun and we got to get a feel for the town where the office takes place :)

Fun weekend all around
