anniversary trip

(No pun intended...I know, that was bad!)

I'm not posting pictures yet, but wanted to get a "kudos" out there to Alpine sooner rather than later. While we were touring the Jim Beam Distillery, another visitor from Texas stepped awkwardly off the sidewalk and twisted (and possibly broke) her ankle. Alpine came over and assisted the distillery staff in assessing and tending to her ankle. The staff was so impressed that he would assist this lady - someone that he didn't know - as much as he did, they gave him a discount whatever he bought in the gift store. If there's no other reason to buy Jim Beam products, this is a good one. They were sincerely appreciative and repeatedly told us how appreciative they were. Nice people... and you don't have to buy the bourbon - they have an absolutely wonderful candle that is just right for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. It's apparently not on their online website, but you can call and order it, and they'll ship it to you. It's well worth it!
