So one place that we have heard a lot about but have not made our way there yet was the Mt. Angel Abbey. We decided it was time to change that. First we called some friends that live in Mt Angel and they joined us for lunch at the Mt Angel Sausage Co. Totally worth it. Then with our full bellies the Gilmores descended onto the Abbey. We first checked out the museum. Thinking that it would be mostly relics, boy were we surprised. It was a large collection of, well, stuff. I don't know what else to call it. The boys were fascinated with not just one but with two conjoined cow twins. We then check out the church and after leaving a priest asked us about our trip so far. He paired us up with a seminary student who gave us a tour of the grounds. The student also told us that the beer from the Abbey was available at the brewery nearby so obviously we had to check that out too. What a fun trip.
