End of Summer Cocktails and Where I've Been

End of Summer Cocktails

and Where I've Been

If you follow this review blog at all, you'll notice the amount of reviews I have been doing has gone down drastically over the past few months.  

Well... life happens.

I thought I would give everyone a taste of what I've been doing in addition to a few end of summer cocktails.  The first day of Fall is September 22, after all! Only two weeks away!

So, where have I been?  

Fishing.  

Lots and lots of fishing, while visiting some gorgeous places.  I'm really trying to hone my fly fishing skills, but it definitely takes practice.  Savor these pictures of the places I've been lately...

 

You get bonus points if you can name any of these rivers or lakes!!!  One of which is world famous for its fly fishing!

Despite all my fishing and adventures, it's amazing how quickly the days are shortening with Fall on its way.  So, soak up the sun for the final two weeks of Summer and enjoy these tasty cocktails.  Old Man Winter will be here before you know it!
