While bringing in the New Year, I learned some fun things. Here’s some highlights:
- Traveling in downtown streets with a GPS is a pleasure. Forget paper instructions, forget poorly marked street signs from streets that are nothing but numbers anyway, because Victoria is kindly telling us where to go. Thank you Victoria.
- The “best” parking spots are usually the hardest to get out of. Good thing we got a “smart” parking spot.
- We were early, and this gave us time to enjoy live music and some fun people dancing in the court. Something about older sweet couples not be afraid to dance together in public is endearing to me.
- Reservations are a God-send. Whoever came up with the idea of, “If our customers call ahead then we can plan our evening better and they can have a shorted wait. Win-Win.” So here’s to you Mr. Restaurateur-Reservation-Creator, thank you indeed.
- When you’re not in a hurry, and the company is great, it doesn’t seem to matter that the food takes an hour and a half to get there… it also is nice when you get an out of this world amazing meal for an incredibly low price because the manager took a huge chunk off the bill.
- I can’t do high heels all night. Maybe I thought I could, but by the time I reached the end of the Pier, it was very clear I’d be walking back to the car barefoot.
- Memories are special. Last time I was down at this pier, Tim and I were celebrating our one year dating anniversary with Matthew and Christen Bonn. We were babies back then, and little did we know that both if us had found our future spouse
It was sweet to remember this.
- I love fireworks. the end. I also love kissing my sweet husband, Tim. So how can New Years not be a good time!?
- We were on the Pier for probably 45minutes to an hour waiting for the fireworks, walking around, and what-not. During that course of that time, in the high cold winds, I managed to not get cold without a jacket. When I got back in the warm car, I shivered for half an hour. Weird.
- When it’s a friend, it NEVER feels like an inconvenience
- I’m excited for 2009. Are you? I’ve posting many pictures to facebook today. Here are the links! Happy New Year!
