2011 Washington Brewers Festival

My parental unit.

These are my parents. Does my penchant for all things awkward make more sense now? They say this photo was taken at a costume party back in the 80s. I think they’re drunk on vacation who cares when. To-may-to, To-mah-to. The hats are superbly awful either way.

As much as I adore my mother, today’s post is in honor of mi padre and our upcoming Father’s Day plans. My dad is wonderful. Truly the best father a girl could ask for, and I love him times a million.  I love him so much, I’ll even let him wear that ridiculous hat to the 2011 Washington Brewers Festival this Sunday. My sister and I are treating our dad to a day of beer and (hopefully) sunshine to say thanks for all the play house building, apartment moving and boyfriend interrogating he’s done for us over the years.

The Washington Brewers Festival is taking place Friday, June 17th through Sunday, June 19th at St. Edwards Park in Kenmore, Wash. One of the largest beer festivals in the state featuring more than 60 breweries, it is also one of the few family-friendly beer festivals. Root beer garden anyone? For more information on ticket pricing and event times, visit the Washington Beer Commission’s website.

I know I’ll be there! If you see a trio of festival-goers wearing absurd straw hats, say hello. There’s a very good chance it will be me. And if it’s not me, at least you’ll have made a new acquaintance
