Reno big day I need a nap

Hey all. This is the big day.  Lots of stuff going on today.

Woke up around 7:30.  Had a good night sleep for a change.  All is back to where it should be.  I have clothes to wear and have a fun filled day.

First took a trip down to the vendors to see if anything was new down there.  I am trying to find things that will go with outfits for the upcoming events I am going to.  I think I found a few things.  Should have a couple of outfits complete now.  Except for the outfit itself.  That has to be finished yet.  So I guess when I get home will be doing a bunch of sewing.  Fun stuff.  

So went down for brunch.  Ended up at the table with some of the Langley ladies.  A lovely bunch of ladies to spend some time with.  Well I did my usual and that was sit back and listen.  Not much in the way of words from me.  The quiet one was in the room again.  I know, I know. Got to get up and do things and talk and such.  Well I did put in a few cents once in while but not very much.  I did get to know these ladies though and I guess that is all that counts from me.

Before brunch started we had the cadets march in the flags.  One for USA one for red hat and one for Canada.  We then sang the national anthems.  They then talked about the Shriners and the daughters of the Nile.  This was a fundraiser they were helping out this year.  Raised 400 dollars for them just in donations.  We then had a buffet brunch.  Of a lunch time and breakfast type food.  So much.  Couldn't eat anymore if I wanted to.  Awards where given out for who came the furthest, who had the most in their group, who dressed the same and so on.

So after brunch was over everyone dissipated into places they where going.  Some went out on the stroll down Virginia street.  Some went back to shop and others headed over to do a little gambling..  Me I went up to my room and took some of my vendor shopping and put it into suitcase.  Then I went downstairs and yes I did a little gambling.  The slots took me money again.  The dang thieves.  Well what else is idea with me.

After my money was lost went back up to room and had a little time to figure out what to wear tonight. Suppose to be a blingy night.  So I got out a blingy top and blingy skirt.  Figured out what I should put on for jewelry.  I then sat on the bed for little while and I guess I had a little nap.    I woke up and realized it was four o'clock.  Oh gosh I have to get ready and get downstairs.

So what cha think.  Blingy enough.  Well maybe just a little too blingy.

So downstairs outside convention room.  Everyone waiting and are dressed to the hilt.  Georgous everyone is.  The big hat.  The bling and more purple then you have ever seen.

There where a couple of pinkos in there as well.

The call was made for the queens to line up.  They went in first and had their pictures taken.  Then they lined up along the wall while we came in a took our seats.  They then walked across the stage being announced as to where they came from.

Here is the dazzling diva from Langley.

Supper was a plated meal.  There was steak rare,  salmon, rice and some veggies.  Just delish it was. Then came desert of a delectable piece of chocolate cake. Just so full could not finish chocolate cake. You know me I just love my chocolate and couldn't finish it.  There is something wrong with that.  After meal was done. More prizes where given out.  Bling head to toe, best dressed, most blingy hat.  I went up for a couple but came in without too many votes.  Oh well all in fun anyways.  I do like getting, dressed up anyways.   It is fun. As you can see from picture above.

Through the night the Sierra swingers played big band songs.  Was very enjoyable and some of the ladies got up to dance the night away.  Me I sat on my duff.  If you want to see some of the dancers go to Facebook page of Sierra swinger.  The singer says she is going to post some pictures on that page.

Here they are boogying the night away.

Was allot of fun. But now sleepy time is catching up with me.

So one more day tomorrow and then back to a normal life for another few weeks. Then I head to ferndale to enjoy another day of dress up and enjoy other ladies company.

Day two in Reno

Hey I got my luggage today.  Yeah that makes me happy.  I do not have to wear the same clothes over and over.  I can brush my teeth and be minty Fresh.I think other people will that me for that.

So early this morning woke up with a dang migraine.  Well that is not a great way to start off the day. Have to get rid of that pretty with it pretty quick or I will have a real problem.  The thing was I woke up around 5:30.  Yeah I know real early.  Couldn't go back to sleep,  my head was aching and trying to sleep was just out of the question.  So took a couple of arthritis  pain killers to see if that would help.  Laid down for a little while longer and do not sleep but I was laying down.  After while decided that that was not working so go up got dressed and went down stairs in search of food.  You know what I came up with.  A cinnamon bun and bottle of water from Starbucks.  Not nutritious but it did hit the spot..

Oh here is an interesting picture from the plane.  Pacman was down there.  Well I think it is funny.  Had to pas the time of riding in the bumpiest ride I have ever had.

Here is a picture of the first night.  As I stood there waiting to see whether this queen would show up with my ticket to the show that was on.  Allot of other red hatters waiting in line to see show..  That was from my first night in Reno.

So now this morning after having a little it in my stomach I headed out on a walk to clear my head a little.

This is a river walk.  The river is called truckie river.  And along the edge they have built sidewalks to walk along.  It was a beautiful walk.  Nice crisp air and an easy walk.  Took me about an hour to stroll along there.  After a few minutes of trying to find it.  The travel book says that there is small shops of interest and such to see.  Well all I really saw was the homeless out sitting on the benches and a few runners and dog walkers.

When I got back close to hotel decided to check out down town and see if there was any shops there to look at.  Well had no such luck there either unless I was on the wrong streets.  I saw allot of pawn shops and shops that had been closed up.  I guess people only come here to stay in the casino and gamble.  So that walk was a bit of a bust to look around at the city..  

Balloons in the sky over Reno.  Big balloon race going on this weekend

There is the sign on main streets Reno.  Biggest little city and here is the entrance to harrah's where I am staying for another couple of days.

As I made my way back into hotel room there was a message on my phone.  Yes my luggage is here.  A load off my mind.  I go down and get my bag. Hoping it is in one piece and everything is still there.  Heap still good.  So spend a little time unloading and hanging up my dresses.  Get the wrinkles out.  Change my clothes and head down to register for today's events.  Played 40 dollars in a slot machine and yeah I lost as usual.  What else is new.  Did a little shopping at the vendors for the convention.  may have found another part to my vegas costume.  it is coming together.  and a cape to have for the oshawa comvention as it will probably cooler there and my dresses are kinda summery.  Then i come back up to room to try to Lay down for little while hopefully to take a bit of a nap before I get ready for tonight event.

Well I may have napped or I may not have.  I know I layed there for a while.  About four was up and getting gussied up

So what cha think.  I clean up real goo huh?

Down to the convention center to enjoy a good meal and some good company and watch a bit of entertainment afterwards. Had a meet and greet first.  Standing around before the doors open and buying raffle tickets and talking while some of us have a drink.

The doors open and everyone heads to find a table to sit at.  I found myself sitting with a few ladies from Reno groups.  A fun bunch of ladies.  Tonight was a buffet type meal.  Once everyone was seated. The mc had a few announcements and then said the meal is ready to serve.  It was every person for them selves.  Two tables set up on either side of room.  Half went to one side and half to other. Lined up on both side of table.  There was salad, noodles, buns and butter.  Scalloped potatoes, shrimp, mushrooms, chicken and beef. And a table full of desert.  Well you know motto of red hatting alway eat desert first.  It was just so yummy and so filling.

After food was cleared up they started giving out prizes.

This is what I won.  A teacup with two red hat mice in it.  I think it is cute.  Something to put in my china cabinet.

Then the entertainment started.  We saw all the different dance styles from over the years from 30's to 60's

These ladies are the silver Reno dancers.  Not one of them is under the age of 60.  Two of them are in their 80's.  my they are good too

The next group to come on a preform was a Reno ballroom group.  They brought us from the 30's to the 60's.  one of the ladies in the group is over 50 and she is a red hatter.

After a few generations of dancing Elvis was in the building.  He rocked the house for the finally.  A few more prizes were given out and a few ladies showed off their costumes from over the year

There was allot of flappers and with the high feathers in their hair. A couple of groups dressed the same.  

Then was the closing for the night.  The elevators where full on the way back up to rooms.

Tomorrow some of the ladies are getting up at 5 o'clock to go see the balloon races.  That will not be me. A restful sleep is in order for me. I hope!! Brunch will be at 10 and then we are going to walk Victoria street.  In our red hat glamour.  After that there will be more prizes given out and more shopping.  Might as well see if anything different is up there.  Might find another prize to buy.  Who knows.  Then to get all gussied up again for another night of drinks and a meal.  This one will be plated and you have a place to be seated this time instead of sit where you like.  So who knows who I will be sitting with tomorrow night.  Surprise, surprise!!!

So one more night and then breakie next day.  Then this one is over.  They are fun.  If there is no frustration on my part.

So now I have had a couple of first.  I drove to the Bellingham airport myself.  Didn't get lost and it didn't frustrate me.  Yeah I am still a chickenshit.  I came to a convention on my own and met some really nice ladies.  We talked a little about dogs.  Something I have. And they talked about things in their group which I sat back and listen to.  Put my two cents in once in while.  Okay maybe not so much a chickenshit but yes I still is.  But this chickenshit is spreading her wings as far as she can and maybe chickens do fly.  Well this is trying anyways.

So guess that's it for night

I sit here in my room wondering why

So I wake up early this morning to a pounding headache.  Okay this is going to be good day.

After yesterday's fiasco.  No luggage when I get off plane.  And then at night not seeing a cabaret show that I was suppose to see last night.  Other then that everything went great.  Planes on time.  Got from one to the other no problem.  Was able to drive down to airport with no problem.  A shuttle was came a few minutes after I got out to shuttle terminal to take me right to hotel.  I have a nice room to go back to each night.

So now today I will go down and register for convention. Hope for the best today

But for now will complain a little more here.  I haven't blingy, I have no nice cllothes to wear or even other clothes to wear.  No toiletries to clean my self up with and I also do not have my pain pills for my arthritis.  That is probably why I have the migraine today.  Wanted to com my hair out this morning but do not even have that.  This is really sucks.

So I was awake at five thirty this morning.  Head throbbing like anything.  I have tried a cold compress to bring it down a little.  Feel a little better now but I know it will rage up again.

Okay let's make the best of this day and get on with it. Time to go for some breakie.. Sun is shining lets go out for a walk and maybe clear my head a little

My first day to Reno

Hey all am writing my first leg from the plane from Seattle to Reno.

I am doing this. Amazing the chicken is sprouting wings.  Well a little bit anyways. There may be afew mistakes on this first part of my composition.the flight is dang bumpy.

Today I was up early.  Did the usual.  Had ready and walked the dogs.  I am feeling the effects of getting up early now.  I feel a little light headed and just all around want to go back to sleep.  Well maybe I should be napping on the plane instead of writing this.  He'll no!! Too excited on going to Reno.

So now I take off in my car.  This will be my first time crossing the border on my own and driving in the states.  I hope I get the directions right or I will be driving around Washington for awhile trying to find that elusive airport in Bellingham.  I followed the same route I went last time.  But then I wasn't driving for that so hope I get it right.  There is always someone esle driving when I head across the border.

So now at the abbotsford crossing.  The border crossing gaurs asked me three questions.  Where am I from, where am I going and why.  As soon as I said red hat convention he said have a good trip and gave me my passport back.  Well that was easy.  

Now to get on the right road.  It seems pretty simple on paper but if I miss one of these roads I am hooped.  Highway nine to guide meridian then onto bakerview and across the expressway highway five where the airport should be on the other side.  Okay off I go.  Radio blaring away to great tunes.  Sun shining.  Aw beautiful day.  Not too warm and just a few clouds in sky.  Well hope luck of the weather stays with me.  Last night listened to a thunder storm going on out side.  Yeah why wouldn't a storm be outside,  they are not in the house.  The dogs heard it too.  Rocky just kept getting closer and closer every time another clap of thunder went off.  So there is where part of my sleep was lost from.

There is the Columbia river down there.  Traveled that river along the road on the bike one year.

Anyways back to my reality here.  Lack of sleep.   Besides the thunderstorm was the excitement of going to Reno.  So took a little while before I steepled in for good night sleep. Until alarm went off in morning.

Well I made my trip to Bellingham with getting lost.  You proud of me?  Well I am proud of myself.  The wings are getting bigger all the time.  I can do this says the little train.  Well you know I can do this. Last time traveled with other ladies this time I am doing on my own.  So proud of this so far.

So now find parking spot in Bellingham airport.  Easy as pie.  Get a ticket and am unloading my luggage from car when a bus pulled up behind me.  You looking for ride to terminal.  Now that is service I was just going to walk the little ways over there but now have a ride from a very nice lady who lifted my luggage into her bus and drove me over there .  I know it is part of service but I figured you would have to walk to bus stop to get on.  She stopped right behind my car.

Okay so in terminal now.  Way too early me thinks.  Oh well can read for while I guess.  So through security and find seat on other side.  Seats are packed full must be a few planes going out soon.  Sit down and start reading.  Do a little facebooking and check my mail.  An hour or so later they are calling the plane loading.  Running a little later then should be.  

The downpour starts.  Great just in time to walk out on the tarmack and get on the plane.soaked I mean soaked!!!  My boarding pass is all wet.  Hmmm should have put that away before I walked out in the rain. Hope it will work for next flight.

So that flight was just a little bumpy. Not much.  Did not see much out the window but clouds.  A little patch clearing once in while.  Then we get into Seattle and sun is shining.  Walk off the plane along the tarmack.  Head for the next gate that I have to get on.  You know it is the same gate I just got off of.  Well that is handy.  So take a bathroom break and then ht the Burger King for a few fries and a drink.  Well that hit the spot.  Back to the gate in plenty of time to wait for boarding.  I walk back out to the tarmack and get on the same plane I just got off of.  Now just in a different seat.  Before at front of plane and now in back of plane.  Very last seat on plane.  Window seats.  Just like being in a window seat and watch the ground go by.  It fascinates me.  When I travel with my hubby he always takes the window seat and sleeps.  So I do not see much of anything.  This time it is my choice.  Just love it.

So now am riding in the same plane heading for Reno.    Had a warning stay in your seats with seat belt fastened .  It seems we have some bumpy weather ahead.  Boy is he not kidding.  Just went through a few pockets here.  Bouncing around all over the place.  Thunder storms ahead.  This is going to be a very bumpy ride.  I can tell you that.  Oh here we go again.

This is not easy typing.  I think I will stop for now and maybe read some more.  We pass through clouds and once in while see the land below.  Not too exciting right now.

When I get to Reno will have to figure out if there is a shuttle to the hotel.  If not guess I am taking a taxi.  Then after checking in will unpack then head down the Sammie in the hotel to take in a cabaret show I have a ticket for.  Well at least hope so.  These tickets are for red hatters.  I said my plane would not be in time to pick up my registration today as they are stopping registration today at five.  So the queen organizing this event said she will have ticket for me when I come down the show place..  So then all I do is go to Sammie's and get my ticket from her and enjoy the show tonight.  Then take in registration tomorrow to have a red hatting good time.

So I guess since the bumping is going on too much to keep typing.  Will close for now and finish off tonight after I am settled.  So far one long day and I am doing this.  Butterfly wings are spreading far and wide.

Okay have now made it to harrah's.  I have a room way up on a top floor. Nice 

Lookie lookie I have a view of a football field.

Okay now the bad news.  My luggage did not get here with me.  So now I am going to have to go to the cabaret show tonight in the clothes I traveled in.  Great!!!

Flying in here tonight.  Well it is still day light.  But flying is was a dang bumpy ride.  I hate roller coasters and this was just like it.  My stomach is right now on the roof of the plane yet.

So after waiting and filling out paperwork to find out where the heck my luggage is I venture outside to find a way to get to the hotel.  First start walking down one way and that is arrivals.  So next best thing ask someone and see if there is a place to get a ride.  He says just go down the other way to the end and you will come to the shuttles.  Now I was worrying that I would not get a ride without having to take a taxi and that might be an expensive process.  But when I walked up to shuttle and read their sign it says.  Harrah's every hour on the half hour.  Yes a free shuttle.  Gotta love that.

So now am at harrah's finishing off my blog for the night.  Am paying for it so might as well use it.  So I will not be on every nights unless it is in the same time periods that I am paying for.  So probably after the show will be on for a little while again.

So just letting you all know I am here and sitting in my room playing on Internet instead of exploring.  Well it is time to go explore.  So will talk to you again tomorrow night.  Or when I decide to pay for Internet again.

 Hopefully luggage will make it here before I go home or I will be traveling with out.  This sucks!!!  So much for being all dressy and blingy.  Now I am in jeans and a sorta purple shirt.  But at least Ido have my hats.  They I carry on with me.

Well until tomorrow.

Last day on Sacramento

Hey all just finishing off from my days at a convention

Today up and down to breakie for last day.  So ball room is not opened yet.  Great is there any venders down stairs yet.  Might as well take a boo and see if there is anything to buy that they may be getting rid of now so they do not have to pack it back up.  Well well well there is still some venders still down in the other ball room.  So take a little gander.

They are spread out now that the workshops are not in the other part of the room...  Time to get a little better look.  My tiger broach is still there.  Just take a look at this.  A very pretty piece.

Just beautiful!!!

I picked up some more feathers and a couple other things of pins.  Something I can put onto my self when I am out at events.  Just to bling up a little.  I don't want to be too blingy but have to shine a little.

Anyways I said no more shopping.  Have to fit it all in my suitcase.  I already had to buy another hat box.  A soft sided one to put my new hat into.  You know that big gorgeous hat I got two days ago.  It looks so good on me..  Sorry do not have a picture of it now, but when I get home and get some pictures from other people I will put it up.  But for now.  No

So after the ball room opened up we all filed in for our last meal together.  Then there was prizes to give out.  Tickets were sold and other draws were made.    I got a basket full,of goodies from one of the prizes.  There was a fan,  picture frame, mirror, a note pad and a purse.  Oh great more stuff to take home.  I am going to be packing up forever trying to figure out how to get these things home.  Plus the new hat and bit of jewelry that I had gotten.  A bit of junk jewelry and some nice stuff.  A few clothes that were on sale in kohls and the trip to hobby lobby i made.Well I am happy to say.  I have it all in.

Will I do it again. Yeah probably.  I should have bought a pin that said shopping is my life.  Well I did stop and not buy anything today.  But what I bought were not that much.  Yeah on sale.!!!  So next time bigger suitcase.  Ha ha!!!

So after breakfast. They did some draws and then they played a couple of games.  Horse racing.  Bring your own hobby horse and race it down some blocks.  A caller says who is going when. Whether it is one block or three blocks or more until you get to the end.  Me I was asked to race and ended up last.  Oh well.  Did not need anymore stuff to take home.

So after the races did closing and and said all our goodbyes.

Me I went for a walk.  The ball room was dang cool today so out into warm air to warm up a bit.  Meanwhile back at the hotel it seems that the other ladies were trying to call me.  Well I did not get the call, but did meet up with them at the front of hotel later.

Over to hobby lobby we did go.  But gee the hobby was closed.  Who would think a store would be closed on a Sunday.  Not us anyways.  But the sign outside said closed on Sunday so staff can spend a day with family.  Have not heard anything like that in ages.  All stores are opened all the time.  But this.  Well unthinkable.  Well kohls is opened.  Down there for a few minutes to check out the sales.  Yes again I did not buy anything.  Just wondered while the other two ladies did a bit of looking..  So then had a little time to spare before we were going for something to eat.

So headed over to the mall.  Across the busy highway we head.  Walk along the parking lot.  It is dang hot out there.  Great!  It was suppose to be getting a little cooler.  Not!!!  Into Macy's which is the closest door.  Wander around for an hour or so.  I show them the bling store I found the  last time I was in the mall.  Pretty pretty pretty.

Then we headed back across the hot parking lot to the Olive Garden to have a very yummy last meal.  Talked about the convention and about other things coming up.  I had heard of a few but not all,of them they were talking about.  Sounds like there is allot more going on them I hear about.  Even in my area.  I would not have to go far and wide to enjoy red hatting if I knew about some of these things.  For now am doing a little traveling to see a little country and getting to know a few new friends.  Sounds good to me, but can't keep it up or I will run out of money.

So now that is my little adventure in Sacramento.  I had allot of fun.  Meant a few new friends.  Still did not come much out of my shell to meet more ladies but got to know a few from a round the area I live. Well lets see what happens at the next one.  Maybe or maybe not.  I might get to know some more friends or I will sit around and just watch what is going on.  Well time will tell.

So closing on this adventure and onto the next in a few weeks.  Fun, fun, fun, well at least I hope

Hi all from the land of oz

Well today started off with a yummy breakfast dress in our Jammie's.  well mine were not exactly Jammie's but close enough

Canada t shirt and a night cap that looks like a Santa hat and canda jammie bottoms.I made it awhile ago.  I am standing next to scare crow.  Yeah right which one is the scare crow.

But look at all the Jammies still on while the workshops are going on

Then it was off to more shopping shopping shopping.  For all the things you did not pick up yesterday.

There were also workshops going on.  You could make a hat pin, or maybe a button ring or a flower earrings..  Then there was the picture frame or the cell phone case.  There was also a facinator workshop.  Here is my piece of art

I had to finish it in my room as there was not enough time to do all they wanted done on it.  So I bought a few flowers to cover up the glue spots I had made.  Look pretty good.  Will need a little touching up when I get home.

I had to buy a hat box to get home my big hat.  I seen this hat and you know it looked so great on me I had to buy it.  Wore it the first night to the dress up dinner.  Now I just have to get it home

Beautiful isn't it?  I know I have to get it home don't I?  

The facinator class took up most of the afternoon after lunch.  So didn't do any other workshops. I got in the hat pin workshop in the morning and the flower earring workshop in the morning.  Other then that just wandered around and looked at all the stuff for sale.  Oh how much I would love to have allot of it but. That is it.  Just looking.

Now tonight was the night of nights.  It is a twister costume party.  My my allot of emagination out there.  I saw ladies dressed as the yellow brick road.  Or the was allot of witches.  A few Dorothy's and scarecrows and tin man.  I didn't see much of the cowardly lion.  There was one dressed up as over the rainbow. Some ladies from the emerald city.  Was interesting to see what everyone thought up to do.  Me I was a witch.  Not a great one but I did try

What cha think?

So now just one more day and then it is homeward bound.  Yeah with all my excess luggage..  Will still have to figure it out.  Next time bigger suitcase then if I buy something silly I know I can get it home.

So lots of fun so far.  Great food and lots to do

Day four in sacramento

This morning up and down to a little breakie.  Not much a muffin did seem to do the trick.  Too much food here.

Am meeting a few other ladies from different groups.  Still am a little on the quiet side so just sit back and listen to what is being said.  They say get in there and have a good time.  Well that may be for some people but for me it is hard.

After breakie hopped on a shuttle with a few other ladies and headed down to old Sacramento.  

We went to the costume store that is down in the this area.  The sidewalks are all made up of timber. Looks like when the cowboys where still around.  Interesting to see.  So in the costume store I found some feathers.  Very long feathers that I want for a hat I am going to make for gold fever.   Then I also found something to go with my which costume tomorrow.  A good day of walking around the old part of town.  They said there is a bling shop down here as well but did not have time to look as the shuttle would be coming back at a certain time to pick us all back up.

Well we sat for awhile waiting for the shuttle.  It was suppose to be back at 12 but did not get there until 12:30.  Warm sitting there waiting for it.

Back at the hotel.  And time to register.  Standing in line and they open up registration half hour early because so many are standing there.

So now registered and heading to the shopping area.  Bling bling bling.  Everywhere.!!!  What to choose.  Wandering and I see on top shelf a hat.  The most beautiful hat I have seen so far.  Bring it down and try it on.  You know it is mine.  It fits perfectly.  It is mine.  I will wear it tonight.  I find a bit of bling.  You know it has to be dolphins.  Did I mention I like dolphins.  Found a bracelet of a dolphin and a ring to match.  Oh am in my glory. I better stop or I will keep buying.  Wondering around.  There is so much to look at.  Clothing bling and more bling.

Back at the room.  Had to tear myself away.  But had to get dressed.  On goes the makeup.  Yes I am wearing makeup.  Not too often you see me with that.  No more pony tail.  Hair is pulled up.  On goes a very pretty dress.  Sequinned all over.  Gloves and then bling and then the hat.  I did not get a picture of this but maybe from one of the other ladies later on.  I think they may have taken some.

Well check this out.  The seven of us are the only Canadians there.  They say that we are the first Canadians to come to this affair.  Imagine that.  My first convention and it is the first time for Canadians.

Shop shop shop.

S now the dinner we all sat together.  Not spread out around the room.  Well that made me feel a little more comfortable.  I am not sure about sitting with people I don't know.  I know I better get use to it as you have allot more of these to go to.

Red hats everywhere.  Big beautiful red hats..  Some of them tried themes for the over the rainbow theme.  Is interesting to see what some ladies do.  Others were dressed to the hilt beautiful dresses and bling bling bling.

We go to choose what we wanted when we signed up for this a few months ago.  It started off with a salad and then I had the salmon and desert afterwards.  Yummy.

Then there was prizes given out afterwards.  One of the ladies at our table won a prize for best hat.  A very nice tea pot.

That partying will go on late into the night.dancing and socializing.  I being party pooper I am headed back to the room so I can get some sleepy by and be ready tomorrow for the pyjama party they are running tomorrow morning with breakie.  Well all our meals are included.  I am going to be so stuffed after this is all over.  Lots of food.

So that is it for the night. Another fun filled day tomorrow.  Shop till you drop.  Workshops and  costume party at night.
