Happy February!

Yesterday was Groundhog Day! And that silly little groundhog did NOT see his shadow, which supposedly means an early Spring! It's been SUCH a weird Winter here... We've only had one really bad weekend (the blizzard), and this week it's getting in the 60s. In February. That is beyond weird! I think we're supposed to get some more snow early next week though.

Last weekend McGee and I joined the gym at the YMCA! It's only about a 5 minute drive from our house, and it is SO nice. We went Monday and Tuesday morning of this week, and we are SORE today! It's been hard waking up so early to go workout, but it's also felt really good to be active again. Here's a picture of our YMCA:

It's kinda cool because it's a new modern building attached to a cool historic building (on the left). It's huge!! 

And after we joined the gym on Saturday morning, we felt so proud of our healthy choices that we decided to celebrate by going to the Victory Brewery! Haha :)  We understood the irony as we were driving there, but it's only about 20 minutes from our house and we'd never gone. We both enjoy their beers, and we'd heard good things about their brewery, so we were there in plenty of time for their noon tour. It was a great tour, and we had a great day! 

Here's the outside of the brewery! 

Here's the bar area. 

Here's a cool machine they have that sounded very important and expensive. It's for grinding grain. 

Here are sacks of hops! These yellow bags held international hops, and there were grey bags full of domestic hops. And we got to smell and taste both, and you can totally tell the difference! 

Here's a hop! 

Here's the restaurant area! 

In other news, our dear Guinness is 3 whole years old! His birthday was yesterday. And here is an adorable picture of him from when he fell asleep on Kevin while we were hanging on the couch. 

I'm so excited the Super Bowl is this weekend!!  I hope it's a great game!!

I hope you're all doing well!
