Bringin' in 2010 in style...

For New Year's our dear dear friends Bryan and Candy came to visit. Todd and Bryan go way back to when they were Drill Instructors at MCRD San Diego and Candy and I pretty much became instant friends the minute we met. Throughout these last 6 years they have become family and I can't put into words how much fun we had this visit. We really know some of the coolest people. As per the usual there was a lot of sightseeing, drinks, laughs, food, drinks and more laughs.

The highlight of our weekend was by far New Years. A couple months ago we realized that one of the mansions had a gala on New Years and figured why not? First of all, as previously stated, I will get dressed up ANYTIME and seriously how often do you get to party in a mansion? Ya, we were sold. Belcourt castle had a 20 piece orchestra, appetizers, drinks, dancing, it really was something to check off your list of things to do one day. We ended up having probably the best New Years I have ever had, it was really cool.

All dressed up and ready to go!

While the boys ran off to the restroom this gentleman asked Candy to dance. It was so sweet!

The bathrooms weren't marked very well so on our mission we found this room. The mansion was beautiful.

Happy New Year! I think 2010 is going to be a great year!
