Hobbiton / by Andrew Tat

As if it wasn't beautiful enough already, New Zealand had to go ahead and bring me back to my childhood memories of falling in love with The Lord of the Rings. This past weekend, a few friends and I went on an adventure to the Shire.

Without further ado, here are a few pictures from our journey. First up: entering the Shire.

We had ourselves some Hobbit food...

And some Hobbit ale.

We frolicked through the Shire.

There were all the Hobbit Holes:

Brian became hobbit-sized for a day.

Of course, more frolicking.

We relaxed at the Green Dragon Inn...

And then were off again.

"I'm going on an adventure!"
