Last weekend Mississippi State had an away game in Kansas so Kenny and I took the opportunity for a really quick getaway to Birmingham for the weekend. We went with Margaret and Jay and Saturday was Jay's birthday so we had a big time celebrating!
Friday evening we left Starkville after Jay got off of work. Ann and Ken came in town to keep the kids and they were so excited to see each other. As soon as we got into Birmingham we drove straight to Ocean where we had dinner reservations. We were starving and enjoyed dinner so much! After dinner we went and met up with our friend Daniel at a little dive bar before checking into our hotel that was downtown. It was called the Redmond and really old. I love hotels like that!

In order to get into Nick's you have to to join their club and get a membership card.

On Saturday we slept in which isn't all that late for us and ordered coffee and bagels for room service and watched College Game Day. It was so relaxing. Then we got dressed and went over to our friend's Laura Catherine and Ryan's house to watch Mississippi State play Kansas. It was a really fun game and we cooked out and had appetizers and drinks while we watched. Then mid afternoon we moved locations to Back Forty brewery. That is what Jay had requested to do for his birthday which was go around to different breweries. So we went to Back Forty, Good People and ended up at Avondale where we contemplated going to see Chris Robinson play but ultimately went to a nice dinner at a restaurant called Ovenbird. While we were there University of Florida was playing Kentucky and we were keeping up with the game through our waiter. After we were done eating it was later and we ended up moving inside to watch Kentucky beat Florida! Take that Dan Mullen! Then it was home to bed!
Sunday morning we had brunch at the hotel before we left to come home. It was a quick trip but much needed!

Headed out to the first brewery.
Good People brewery. There was some really strong beer there that I choked down but
after all of our brewery stops I can still conclude I do not love beer.
Didn't really take this bike for a ride.
I love foose ball and we had a rather heated match and the Cooks won in an upset.
We ran into Daniel and another friend Drew at the Avondale brewery
where they went to see Chris Robinson.
The food at Ovenbird was so yum!
