Been a few days...guess I should update. Had to work New Year's Eve. Fun. After work, the family met me at my job, and we went to First Night. Luckily for us, my job is less than a block away from the courthouse, where most of the festivities took place. The kids and I went on rides, and walked around some. It didn't look like there were many people there...probably because everyone was inside one venue or another. Immediately the kids were bored, especially Bum. She's like that--if it's not about her or entertaining her, she tries to bring everyone else down with her. Anyway, the reason we were bored was because we didn't have the schedule of events to tell us where stuff was happening--I left my copy at work, and Bum threw the one she brought away. Good thing there was Command Central--they had extras. We got one, and found out there was a magic show not too far away...we had to get the shuttle (which was free) to take us there. It was awesome. Then off to another one, which was totally lame. The guy was like a bad Rodney Dangerfield impression, AND his magic tricks were lame too. The kids got a kick out of it, though...that's all that mattered. Then we walked back down to Courthouse Square, and it was getting packed with people. All the other events were done for the night, and all that was really left was the fireworks at midnight. Then the bells rang midnight, and the fireworks started. THAT was awesome. I got pics of them, but you'll have to wait til I get the camera developed. After that, the square was like a ghost town. We went home, and the kids were out in a matter of minutes. Dick Clark was still on--he looked absolutely terrible. Didn't sound much better, but at least he made the attempt to be there--that's all that matters. Went to bed around 3am. Happy new year!
til next time...=)
