Westy’s & Blowing Off Steam
This blog is coming to you from the beautiful Rocky Mountain state of Colorado. Holly and Mark (or should I say Jolly and Coach) are visiting their granddaughter, Ellie Rose West, as she celebrates her second birthday this Saturday!
We were thinking about what to write for this week's blog and as we were taking the shuttle from the Denver airport to our rental car, we met a couple wearing CU Boulder sweatshirts. They were on their way to their son's college graduation.
A short while later we were on the road to Monument, and we were discussing how nice it must be for all of those seniors across the country to be graduating. We had flashbacks of our graduation from West Point and how, after four years of grinding it out, we were finally able to blow off four years' worth of steam.
We laughed out loud, and it got us thinking about all the different ways people blow off steam. Some people blow off steam through exercise. Some blow off steam through yoga or meditation. Others blow off steam by hitting a punching bag. While others blow off steam by getting away from the grind of life by finding solitude for a few days at a favorite getaway spot.
One of our favorite ways to blow off steam is by finding a local bar or pub to share a pint with each other and friends. Last week we did just that by attending a Brew Fest at the West Point Club.
Over a dozen local breweries participated, and we were able to sample numerous types of beer and ciders with some of our closest friends. After a long week of work (and trying to get a bar ready for business), the Brew Fest was just what the doctor ordered. We had a blast with our friends, and together we blew off a lot of steam!
We want Westy’s to be one of those places you can go to blow off some steam. When you come, bring your friends and you can blow off some steam together!
