the 2014 Christmas Jam
Dec. 24th, 2014 06:28 pmThis year's Christmas Jam trip has come and gone, and it seems like a blur this year. I went to pick up the midsize rental car Tuesday night to find that the Camry they had was damaged (broken windshield), so I got upgraded to a Town and Country minivan. I went in early Wed. so I could leave work early and snooze a bit before hitting the road. I had dinner with Susan and got on the road about 5:30 or so. The Town and Country was very comfortable so I drove straight down to Asheville, arriving at about 11 PM. I check in, and go to the local Ingles Market to get a toothbrush, a sandwich and a six pack. Vacation was underway.
Thursday I realized I only had one pair of jeans packed, so I make a mental note to get another pair. On the agenda was a tour of the Sierra Nevada Brewery. I gotta say the tour was one of the best I've ever been on. Very nice facilities and great tour guide. They are still working on the restaurant/tap room and some other features which should be finished around March. I can't wait to see it fully up and running.
Friday was Before the Jam lend a hand. This year I worked with the siding crew. Warren came out and performed an acoustic version of "Soulshine" during the wall raising of one of the houses. After that I went downtown to meet up with Joe who had driven down that day. A few beers were consumed at Barley's Pizza and Taproom, and a few more at Wicked Weed Brewing.
