Arboretum, Travail and Beer Drinking Contest

Started the day with a brunch nearby where Lil Friend was staying at.  They had lobster and oysters for lunch, with $1 beer. Mmmm…. What a great way to start the day :)

After that, we headed towards the Arboretum, and then a raid at a Super Target.

Then it was a dinner at a super fun place called Travail.  Lots of interesting flavors of food and ways of serving.

At the end of the night, there was a 1-1 beer drinking contest.  I won against my opponent… a cook!

Afterwards, went to a sake bar, had some sake and food, then headed back home and chatted for a bit, then slept.
