Happy New Year! Bonne Année!

So we were able to stick around in the States for one more week in order to spend New Years with a bunch of good friends at the beach. The weather was a balmy 60 degrees on average. I even wore shorts a couple of days. I got to play that long game of Risk I've had a hankering for, but was conquered in the end. Elizabeth played lots of pool and hit the beach a few times, walking, that is.
We had a bonfire on the beach for the last hour of '06. We roasted marshmallows and hotdogs (separately, of course). We then toasted the New Year while a few hundred yards away some polar bear clubbers braved the frigid waters for a very short time. Before making this post we took some pictures of us and a few friends with someone's MacBook.

Enjoy

Happy New Year!
