Today was a good day!
This afternoon my parents and I drove to Melbourne (where I ran the 8K on Saturday) to check out the Florida Beer Company. They have a tasting room, and not much else! You can see where they make the beer but they do not have any tours.
They had a lot of beer to taste!
I tried..
- Hurricane Reef Raspberry Wheat
- Hurricane Reef Pale Ale
- Florida Beer Swamp Ape IPA
- Irish Kelly’s Raspberry Cider
The cider was my favorite, of course, because it was sweet.
All of them were pretty decent, except the Swamp Ale. It was SO strong, I don’t think I could ever drink an entire bottle of that!
After beer tasting, we went to the historic part of Melbourne to check out the shops. It had a very Lake George-ish vibe.
There was a shoe store where I went in and tried on some Vibram Five Fingers, just for the heck of it.

I was surprised they actually fit my toes! They didn’t have my size so the pair I tried on were too big in the back, but they were pretty comfy! Maybe this spring I will see if I can find a pair in my size. Maybe a birthday present to myself? 
Anyway, enough dreaming. In Melbourne, we also stopped a candy shop called Kilwin’s.
They had so much chocolate. See the chocolate space shuttles at the bottom??
I left there with a toasted coconut and carmel covered graham cracker.
It was heavenly. I also got a peanut butter and dark chocolate covered s’more, that I’m saving for later!
Okay, I’m off to research the Vibrams! Hope everyone is having a great week!
Question: have you ever tried the Vibram Five Fingers? Thoughts?
I’m so curious what it would feel like to run in Vibrams!! They’re so expensive though… maybe I’ll just try some on and see how they feel

I have a cousin in Melbourne – I ought to visit her again and check it out!
I want vibrams so bad! I tried them on and keep seeing them pop up on different blogs with people swearing by them. I was thinking I might make them a “Yay You Lost 30 Lbs” present to myself.
How long are you in Florida? I’m in Tampa and the weather is gross today. Hope you get some more beautiful days!
I’m only here until tomorrow!
We got some nice days, though!
