Happy New Year

Spent New Years Eve at the Chateau La Mer again. There are three parties going on, and you can go from room to room if you would like to dance to something different.

The food and music were wonderful, met some great people, and had a fantastic time.

I hope you too had a great time, however you celebrated. Have a happy and prosperous New Year.
