For the record, some "skills" you never really lose, they just go into remission until you need them again. Case in point, we drank for 11 hours yesterday. Seriously. We also walked 4.5 miles in the cold. My Fitbit says 6, but I don't think that's right. C's says 4.5 and I think hers is more accurate. Regardless, it was barely over double digits which also helped. At one point it was 10 degrees outside. We started the day in the room accidentally. I ordered us up some breakfast and asked for two mimosas. You know start out slow, right? They decided to give me an entire carafe of OJ and a full bottle of champagne and charge me for the price of two mimosas. Yep. $22. Okay. Well we opened it and I guess we had to finish it! We left the hotel around 10am and hit our first stop. We walked to this cute antique store where I found a new hat, a cute little retro purse, a napkin holder, and some handmade soaps. Score. From there we started looking at the ice stuff being setup. Nothing was ready yet so we made our way to the irish pub. I had 2 forbidden fruit donut ciders, then the bartender who is starting to like us, brought us over "something to try". It was delicious. Don't even know what the fuck it was. It was blue and tasted good. We then took coffee based drinks to go. We walked more and ended up in a winery tasting room. We had a six glass flight there. We did make a couple of pitstops at the hotel during the day to drop things off. When we ventured back out, we needed a snack. Hit up a gastropub where we had octopus and a giant pretzel. Also two more cocktails and a beer to go. Near there was a candle making store. We popped in and made custom candles. Picking those up today. We also had a little frozen custard next door to that. More walking and our final stop - a pizza place where we had two more beers and brought our pizzas back to the room. We proceeded to sit in bed watching top chef, eating pizza, and then you know what happened. We never left a 1-2 mile square radius. I lost an earring which pisses me off because it was one of my moose ones from Alaska. I'm hoping I lost it at the candle place. I also lost a scrunchy which is annoying. All in all, it was an incredible, much needed day. 

Today is open houses. Let's see what we find. Then we're going to look at the ice sculptures, figure out dinner, and head home tomorrow.
