Meet Kona

Kona was born on December 20, 2013 along with four other Siamese babies. Roy found a breeder in Elizabethtown and told me on my birthday that he had gone and picked one out. We had to wait until he was 10 weeks old so we got him on March 2nd. He is a ball of pure energy! I've been calling him Be-be because he is so tiny and cries like a baby. I'm not sure why I came up with the name Kona but maybe it's because I've always got Hawaii on my mind. But I usually call my cats all kinds of different names as time goes by so he'll have many.

Kona is a lilac point Siamese just like Sativa Bear - a young cat I previously had that sadly passed away in June of 2012. I wasn't expecting to get any more cats for a while but I think Roy has become a Siamese lover. I don't think he was quite prepared for how much energy kittens have. Our other 6- and 14-year old cats are quite lazy. I think it'll be good for them to chase the little one around for exercise.

He's getting bigger day by day and he runs bat shit crazy from one end of the house to the other.  He runs up my leg like he's climbing a tree and it hurts! I have multiple scratch wounds on my hands from playing with him - he'll pounce on anything that moves. He's lucky he's cute!

Kicked it off Friday night at The Capital Grille for our anniversary dindin.  I got a Stoli Doli and Roy got a Loose Cannon IPA (several actually). We got the lobster crab cakes for an appetizer. He got the porterhouse oscar (with crab meat and asparagus) and I got the filet with porcini rub and a glass of Markham Pinot. Strawberry cheesecake for dessert. I love this place and I think it's worth every penny. Roy kept saying "mmm' after every bite. I carried my leftovers with me from hotel to hotel but then forgot to bring them home.



On Saturday we met up with our friends in Gaithersburg and headed to VA in a mini van for a brew tour. Mad Fox Brewing Co. tours were full so we went to Port City Brewing Co. It was a pretty good time. Especially since we skipped lunch.  $9.00 for 6 pints and the tour.

Our favorite was the Monumental IPA. I'm not much of a beer drinker but this turned out to be quite fun tasting all the beers.

Holds lots of beer.

No idea what this is. We couldn't really hear what the guide was saying and we were pretty buzzed. You could tell who the home brewers were and who weren't. They were all serious and listening intently while we were trying not to laugh.



The girls.



The guys.



After Port City we went back to Mad Fox for a later tour but it wasn't as fun. It was more talking and less drinking.  Later that night after stuffing our faces with all you can eat Korean BBQ at Iron Age and taking a short break/nap back at the hotel, we all headed to Dave & Busters. This 4-way air hockey was lots of fun.

Adam hit 1000 on this wheel and got 1000 tickets. Dave & Busters was packed and it smelled like fart. Other than that it was good times.

Ate Pho on Sunday then headed back home to prep for the snowstorm that never really came, but that's okay because I'm so ready for Spring!
