A Crown Amongst The Oaks: #DayDrinkingInTheDirtyD

So, after the Krispy Kreme Challenge it was time for some shenanigans in Durham. The plan was to pay $7 and catch the train to Durham. Walk around and drink and eat all day. Then ride the train back.....welllllll below is the train, and we aren't on it. We missed the freaking train by like 2 minutes. So, what did we do?

We went back to my house and kept on pregaming. Then we Uber XL'd to Durham with a crazy man named Larry. We may or may not have taken water bottles that were not filled with water. FYI: Mimosas in water bottle pack some serious pressure and will spew when you open them, think shaken up Coke bottle.

We got to Durham and tried to hit up Dame...too bad there was a 2 hour wait since it was Valentine's Day. So, we skipped it and hit up a little shop on the way to the first bar. I REALLY want this sweatshirt for some reason. I may have to go back and get it.

First Stop: Bull City Burger and Brewery. We had some beers, ate some duck frites, and chatted about how pumped we were for the day.

Maggie got a grilled cheese sandwich. Look at that thing. YUM!!!

Walking around, checking out the old buildings.

Onward to Bull City Ciderworks. I LOVE love LOVE cider. This cidery doesn't hold a candle to the one in Seattle. Sorry Durham! We all got flights and then just got pints of our favorites. Look at the pink one :), it was a dry blueberry. They also had a ginger cider that was SUPER gingery, I couldn't tell if I loved it or not.

We were trying to find Triangle Brewing. I went to Triangle Brewing Plates and Pints a few weeks ago, but we wanted to tour the actual brewery. It was pretty sketchy, surrounded in barbed wire and across from a rehab facility. It must have been closed, or we may have been too intoxicated to figure out how to get in- I'm going with the former. Anyways, we found this gem in the concrete. Happy Valentine's Day!

Onward to Fullsteam! We grabbed beers and played Heads Up, if you haven't played it you need to download it. Like right now.

They have flights in cute little NC cut outs. Mariah- I will use this as a reference for which way the state goes :D

Oh yes, busted out the selfie stick. Totally didn't realize until I was going through my pictures yesterday that we got photo bombed in a serious way. I love these people, and they are only in Durham- someone has to know them!

Sweet brother and sister selfies :D

We finished up at Full Steam and headed to Geer Street Garden. The glare is on "The Pile" but let me grab a description off their website: Fried chicken, French Fries, Jalapenos, Bacon, Melted Cheddar Cheese with Gravy and 2 Sauces. Basically heaven in your mouth....and only a few calories....
