In just over a month, Michael will celebrate his 21st birthday. Tami and I offered to have a party for him here at the house. However, Michael decided he would rather celebrate at The Hofbrauhaus in Newport. I've heard The Hofbrauhaus (even though I've never been there) is your typical German beer hall. Long tables with benches, beer in mugs, sauerkraut, pretzels and bier cheese (and other traditional German dishes) as well as accordion and Polka music (think Festhaus at Kings Island).
Michael is looking forward to his first legal beverage, but has absolutely no interest in getting intoxicated. Many kids on their 21st birthday go out and get totally smashed. That's not what this party is all about. A lot of family members and friends are likely to attend. This is a simple celebration with good German food and a little bit of beer. Nobody will be getting schnockered (the proper German term is betrunken).
This will be a come one, come all event. Michael turns 21 on October 20, but we will not celebrate until Friday, October 24. We would love to have you join us.
Honestly, I can't imagine a better way to celebrate than Michael embracing his German heritage. His Grandpa Mick and great grandpa Meyer would have been proud.
Auf Wiedersehen!
