Since we had a free weekend Doug asked me if I would go with him to try a few of the breweries that we had gone to for Valentine's Day. I was glad to go with him as we will be busy every night next week and won't get much time together. We waited until after the IU game to leave, but with the outcome, we probably should have left earlier. The good part about the loss was all of the controversy on Twitter about IU making the tournament. Archie called the bracketologists Sesame Street characters during his press conference after the game and Cam enjoyed reading all of the comments that followed his remarks.
Doug and I stopped at Lechyd Da's in Elkhart first. Even though it was only 3:30 in the afternoon the place was packed. We were glad to find a seat and enjoyed a drink and an appetizer. Our next stop, also in Elkhart, was Westwind Brewing Company. It had just opened in November and was only available for customers on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. We tried a drink and an appetizer there as well and enjoyed it just as much as the first restaurant. Champion's new building was close to the breweries, so we drove by there next. Doug was pleased with the progress and looked forward to moving in to the new space this summer. On the way home we decided to stop at Constant Springs in Goshen once again trying a drink and an appetizer. We had a wonderful time together and Doug was glad to have tried all of the different places.
Cam had had enjoyed his afternoon as well. He and Grandpa played nine holes at Wawasee. Grandma then made them a pot roast for dinner and they all played Buck Euchre until we got home. We continued the card playing with a round of Oh Hell where Grandma was the big winner. Doug and I finished the night watching East of Eden. Neither of us had seen the movie since we were in our twenties. It was as intense as we remembered and we both liked it just as well. It was a nice way to end our day together.
