Getting By

This semester, holy moly, this semester...
Keeping my head above water is the best way to sum it up.
Very minimal free time these days, so blog posts are few and far between.

BUT, I'm getting by.
Keeping my spirits lifted with good music on Spotify.
The Lumineers? My favorite right now.

Imagine Dragons... kind of digging them too.
I could listen to music all day long on there, I love discovering new artists.
So it's just PERFECT to use in the background while I'm studying.

Over the weekend I took a break from the books, and headed to Terrapin (a brewery in Athens) with my parents and some of their friends. Terrapin is one of my favorite places in Athens, the atmosphere is pretty cool... with the live music and strung up lights, it's a fun place to venture out and try new beers.

And then that night I got tickets to Sister Hazel at the Georgia Theatre for Ben and I for Valentine's Day. It was such a great show! Granted, with the Georgia Theatre and us Athens folks as your audience... it would be pretty hard to have a bad show. ;)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Savannah

We chose Savannah for our half marathon for several reasons: it's flat, it has perfect weather in November, and the city is beautiful.

On race day we had to wake up at 4:15AM in order to get to our parking spot before the roads were closed off... so by that afternoon we were pretty exhausted. We took a quick nap and then hit River Street Saturday night for a few beers, some pralines, and a delicious dinner after all of those calories we burned off.

We had dinner at Fiddler's Crab House on River Street, and we ate on the porch so we could overlook the river. The atmosphere down there is just so much fun.

 I had some shrimp and grits, which were: to. die. for.

and after dinner we went to "World of Beer".... hello my new favorite bar. 

I'm a beer girl, and this place blew my mind with the amount of beer they have on tap and on the menu.

My word.

They even do beer cocktails... it was an excellent reward after all of that running!

That sums up the rest of our Saturday in Savannah... now I'm dying to go back. I would kill for a few more pralines right about now. This time change has killed me this week!

Happy Friday friends!!

Terrapin

Terrapin is a local beer company in Athens, and touring their brewery has been on my bucket list for quite a while now. 

Well it just so happens.. it's been on Ben's bucket list too, so while he was in town over the weekend we made sure we got it crossed off.

Naturally it was 106 degrees when we went on Saturday.
and inside the brewery? 
It was blazing hot.
But well worth it.

Bonus? You get awesome pint glasses.
Boom.
We were happy people.

We both like trying new beer,
so Terrapin was right up our alley.
I'm kind of feeling a brewery tour road trip on my bucket list now...

We shall see. ;)

 Cheers!
Have you been to any breweries? 
 Spill. 

I want to know your favorites, and favorite beers... because I love finding new ones!
