Heading to Wonderful Colorado Springs

My work will be taking me back to Colorado Springs, soon. I just hope the weather is good. I heard they are recoving from 2 feet of snow!

I will have to take my camera to capture some snow pictures while I am out hiking.

I hope to stop by the Bristol Brewing for a cold beer and Pikes Perk for coffee, but not on the same day.

Back from Disney World's International Food and Wine Festival

Karen and I just got back from a wonderful vacation to Disney World. It was our first vacation as Disney Vacation Club (DVC) members. Being a DVC member made the vacation extra fun.

We stayed at Disney's Saratoga Springs, which is our home resort. We had a beautiful view of Disney Downtown.

The only bummer is Karen got a blister on both pinky toes.

I will be posting pictures soon at www.brianallen.com

Great Time at Oktoberfest

Brian Allen and Karen AllenKaren and I had great time at this year’s Redstone Arsenal Oktoberfest. Each year we run into so many friends at the festival and this year was no different.

Michael HofferTerry Cavanagh and Alpine Express provided great entertainment. I snapped a good picture of Michael Hoffer playing his trombone in the audience.

Karen and I tried for the first time an Elephant Ear topped with powder sugar and cinnamon. It was good, but I think we will be sticking with Funnel cake.
