A New Years Eve to Remember (or forget?)

We've usually had fairly low key New Years Eve celebrations since we had kids. Who wants to be out with the "crazies"? This year, we decided we wanted to be the "crazies". Our friends Amanda and Mike joined us- made reservations at a downtown hotel. Weather predicted it to be COLD (in the low 20's!) with possible snow. We went prepared! After drinks in our room, we walked to PF Changs for a delicious dinner. More drinks. Then walked to the First Street bridge to watch the fireworks at 10pm. It started snowing! Wandered around hotel and checked out the amenities. More drinks. Ended up at one of the hotel's bars, and ordered champagne. We brought in 2018 with a bunch of crazy drunk people, laughing and dancing. We took a short walk in the wee hours of the morning to clear our heads after all that booze-- it was a beautiful, crisp night. Thanks Amanda and Mike for one heck of a NYE to remember!
