Happy New Year to family and friends!

Richard and I spent New Year's Eve with good friends at Hotel ZaZa in Houston. The hotel had a fun "Fabulous Flappers - Roaring 20's" theme and we all decked out in attire appropriate for such. It was so much fun as the guys all wore zoot suits and the girls were all flappers. There was lots of food, drinks and dancing and we all celebrated the New Year's arrival with great fun! We all started the day at ZaSpa with couples massages. After getting throughly relaxed it was time to put on the costumes and head for a quick toast before going to dinner. Unfortunately, the hotel messed up the reservations some how and inadvertantly gave Blanchard's hotel room away, and considering they were totally sold out they had no other option that to "upgrade" her and Rodney to this small, horrible room...oh wait, did I say room. It was more like a full blown house. To get the full picture you would need to go to Hotel ZaZa's website and take a look at one of their website and click on the Warwick Apartment which is 2,829 square feet. http://www.hotelzazahouston.com/houston-hotel-suites.php
so needless to say we decided to go up to their "mansion" of a hotel room to have a toast and begin our adventure. From there we headed to the dining room were we had a five course meal with wine pairing and then proceeded to dance the night away to a band and later DJ. The new Year was rung in with party hats and champaigne toast and we then all retired to our nice rooms to finish off a great evening. In the morning they served a wonderful buffet brunch in which we all departed and went our seperate ways to end another great New Year's Celebration. We have been doing this with Larry and Deanna for about 4 or 5 years and this year Sara and Rodney joined us! It was a great time and cannot wait till next year to do it again.
