We Have a Beer Map

"We have a beer map," has to be one of the most singularly awesome phrases to be able to say. And guess what! Leslie and I totally have a beer map! It's this map of the United States, and it lists the favorite/best beer of each state, voted on by people in that state. (Here's the link in case you're interested... Beer Map.) So, every place we stopped, we had to try the beer on the beer map. Of course we didn't limit ourselves to just this...it was just where we had to start. Thank goodness we didn't go to Idaho...there is only a huge "?" and I really don't know what that means!

Anyway, we were incredibly dedicated to the beer map...so dedicated in fact that come 10:20AM on Saturday morning in Las Vegas, Nevada...

-"Good morning, can I interest you in one of our beers?"
-"Why yes, yes you can."

What a relief to be out of Utah! We were not the only ones in the restaurant enjoying a breakfast beer, and our waitress found it quite amusing that yes, we indeed had a beer map. She high-fived us and everything. Also, we can now say that we had a beer in Vegas, even if we didn't stick around to play the slots.

We ended up in LA that night where we stayed with Leslie's friend Andrew. We made up for our two nights in Utah by going to a bar on Hollywood Blvd. Needless to say, we felt like movie stars...or perhaps just people in Hollywood. I told Leslie when we were driving in, "Hey, we're in the place where movies happen." Here's a picture of us being movie stars...

We're gonna be famous one day...

Andrew is a movie star, too.
