So Tim and Jake rented tuxes...Lynn and I got fancy dresses...heels, makeup, the whole 9 yards. It was so fun! We took a cab to the pier and hung out with all of the other fancy dressed and not so fancy dressed (yes, there was a guy in a Hawaiian shirt and jeans) We were looking for the person wearing CROCS...didn't find one. We boarded just past 7:30pm and shoved off about 8:30pm. We were served the courses listed above. Lynn and I got the prime rib, Tim got the Salmon Wellington, and Jake got the chicken. We were all satisfied with the dinner, loved the dessert and really enjoyed the atmosphere, music, dancing, and just the general feel was really very festive. And, I
have to admit it was fun dressing up!! I will post a couple pictures of the food!! Our evening ended beautifully with watching the Space Needle fireworks on the deck of the boat. It was spitting rain but was still fun and many people came out to enjoy them. Our only glitch in the evening was trying to get a cab when it was over...Lynn and I froze our feet and Jake and Tim got really wet walking up and down Alaskan Way trying to compete for taxis that didn't seem abundant. All in all a GREAT way to celebrate the new year!!
