Thankfully, when Saturday arrived everyone was feeling celebratory again. An Oktoberfest celebration was being held at Fort Benning and we all wanted to honor our German heritage with large quantities of beer, brats and sauerkraut.
Here are some pictures from our eventful week.
Strangers kept dumping their empties on our table. How rude!
Aren't Jeff and I cute in our coats at Oktoberfest? You know what's not cute? Forty-degree temperatures in the South in mid-October.
Burrr. Lily and Morgan cuddle to keep warm at Oktoberfest.
Stefanie, who's from Connecticut, wore a jacket and scarf to Oktoberfest. Andy, who's from Georgia, did not. Stefanie was nice and warm. Andy was not.
A couple of German guys put down their steins to take a picture with Lily, me and Stefanie.
Lily borrowed my totally awesome gloves (which she laughed at until her tiny fingers turned to ice) for this picture with Andy.
Jeff "sneaks" into Sonya and Alan's photo after his birthday wine tasting. He's really sly.
Jeff rules his birthday a success and gives his victory cheer.
Stefanie and Andy pose for a nice photo. Jeff decided not to sneak in and refused to take a "nice" photo with his wife. He did make many inappropriate faces in photos, but the wife has deleted them.
Lily (pictured with husband Morgan) says we didn't drink too much, we just didn't eat enough. So true!
Alan shares Jeff's passion for real martinis which are only made with gin — preferably Blue Sapphire Gin. Sonya and I prefer a tasty pinot grigio or faux martinis made with vodka and fruity liquors.

Ok. Luke and I are completely jealous we don't live in Columbus or just a bit closer. Happy belated to Jeff- the wine tasting looked fun and fancy. Happy Oktoberfest! The beer looked tasty and everyone looked cold!
