Day 1418 – What An Awesome Way To Spend Memorial Day

On Monday, Memorial Day, I ventured down to Washington DC with a few friends! It was a truly awesome day!

We started at the zoo and caught the pandas at feeding time!

(Forgive the out of focusness)

Day 1402 – Awesome Mead And Cider In My Backyard – Millstone Cellars – Monkton, Maryland

Today, my brother Josh and I finally stopped by Millstone Cellars.

When we first arrived, the parking lot and tasting room were pretty packed! But we didn’t have to wait long to get a guided tour of the mill. It was fascinating to hear the story behind the mill, how mills operated, how they process their mead and cider, everything!

We sat down and tried several of their current bottles. Oh. My. Gosh. SO good! Josh and I each bought a bottle of the Gingeroot cider. We also loved the Hopbrosia mead. It actually has hops in there too! Yum!

So if you’re in the area, check them out! If you can’t stop by, find them in a store near you….wow, I sound like a commercial! But seriously, so good!

So here is some honeycomb outside. Fresh honey. Dude.
