December 4, 2022 No Comments

A Day Full of Adventures

I’m excited to share an eventful weekend with all of you. From axe throwing practice to a nature documentary at a local brewery, here’s a look at my packed social schedule and a memorable visit to Vista Brewing with my girlfriend.

A Full Day of Fun

What a day! I started with watching the World Cup, followed by some axe throwing practice. In the afternoon, I enjoyed a park grill and chill session, and to top it all off, I ended the day at a brewery watching a nature documentary. It was a full and fulfilling day, packed with activities I love.

Vista Brewing and “Deep in the Heart”

We headed to Vista Brewing to watch “Deep in the Heart,” a Texas wildlife documentary narrated by the one and only Matthew McConaughey. The brewery itself is a gem, with a small working farm and apiary onsite, providing fresh ingredients for their kitchen and drinks.

Everyone getting settled in for the screening.

Getting Fancy and Going Online

Axe throwing is getting fancy! Urban Axes created an outdoor planter divider for the picnic area, adding a touch of elegance to their setup. Additionally, we’re now streaming our matches online, which allows more people to join in on the fun and excitement, even if they can’t be there in person.

Quick Trip to Denver for the Job Interview

My journey to this new role took me on a quick trip to Denver for the final interview. One surprising discovery along the way was finding out the Austin Airport has live music inside—an unexpected treat! In Denver, I had the chance to dine near downtown at a unique restaurant located in a former mortuary, which added an interesting twist to the evening.
