Christmas-fest

Dan and I were out and about today, and not just to the grocery store. We went to an event!

Arlington Christkindl Market

This weekend is the first annual Arlington Christkindl Market.

It was described to Dan as basically the Christmas equivalent of Oktoberfest. So we figured there should be beer.

Beer!

There was!

Of course, food was also another draw. Dan saw a snippet about the festival on the news and they had a shot of what looked like a tenderloin sandwich. So we went thinking that there might be one of those, too.

There was!

There were other goodies, too, so naturally we had some of those, too.

(Unpictured are a fantastically tasty and sweet apple cider and Dan's second favorite wheat beer.)

It was just the first year of the festival, so it was pretty small, but it was still neat and gave Dan and I couple of hours of meandering and munching. And pointing out folks in funny hats and/or lederhosen.

A good time was had by all! (Except perhaps by the guy that was there in the shorts. Cause it was cold.)
