Well, Dan and I were invited to his bosses 60th birthday party. So we got all gussied up and went to New York last night!!
Here we are leaving our house, yes Dan is wearing a tux, last time he wore one was for our wedding!! We rode a shuttle bus that was chartered for the party, it took us from the corporate office to downtown. The party was on the top floor of the St. Regis Hotel!
Here we are on the top floor "mingling" before dinner, if you look to the far right of the picture, all those trees are central park!
Here is the other pilot that Dan works with, Torrey and his wife Barbara. They flew in from Canada to party with us!
And Rob, the mechanic on the airplane, and his wife Laurie! They braved the shuttle bus with us!
We were all siting together at table eight, we ate in the ball room and there was dancing in between our 4 course meal (I counted dessert as one course even though there were 5 desserts)!!!
Here is our table marker and our menu for the evening!!
Here is a shot of the ballroom, it was beautifully decorated in blue, my favorite!
Here was one of my desserts, VERY yummy! It is "Almond Tuile Filled with Fresh Berries and Miniature Fruit Sorbets", the sorbet was frozen in shapes of fruit with little plastic leaves and stems! Too cute!We sang happy birthday and danced a bit and then said farewell and jumped on the shuttle bus as it began to rain! The whole ride home (3 hours instead of 1.5) we watched the lightning crashing, and dropped into bed at 4am!!
We also got a little goody bag on our way out, I love the flower arrangement they tied to the bag, it was a little bag that looks like a Dr.'s bag with some of his products and one of his books, so I guess I'll see what he has to say, and maybe I will look fabulously younger too!
* I purposely did not mention Dan's bosses name as I do not think it is appropriate on the Internet, so those of you who know please do not post it! :) Thanks!
New York, ooh la la! You're looking awfully tan, is that from your fancy-schmancy vacation?
ReplyDeleteWow, what with your exotic vacation and your sophisticated dinner party in New York, I have to wonder, where's the laid-back, crunchy Danna I know? :P
wow! that looked like a lot of fun!!
ReplyDeleteLove your dress! You are one hot mama.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your Great Party and night on the town with us peasants! :})
ReplyDeleteI think most of the lovely tan is the bronzer I wore! :) Don't worry about where I am, I had to buy make-up brushes because I did not have them any more, along with make-up, a dress, shoes, a purse... I had nothing except a new bra and only because those 2 and a half year old nursing bras had lost their hold! :)
ReplyDeleteWe did have fun playing "dress-up" and messing with Dan's drunk co-workers! Plus it was beautiful and it is fun to go to the city and be fancy for a night! And I met a few very lovely people!
Yea and the dress, you try finding a modest "elegant" dress! It was slim pickings but I enjoyed my dress, it was silk and made me feel pretty... "I feel pretty, oh so pretty..." :)!
Thanks all!
You and Dan have been livin' la vida loca lately. Nader and I look pretty tame compared to your guys !! I love the all the pictures !! I would love to see some pictures of your garden.
ReplyDeleteI just looked at these pictures again, and the one of us standing in front of the flower arangement makes me look like an Amazon Woman if you look at Barbara and Laurie in comparison! I'm really not that tall, it was just the heels, and they were a bit short! ;)
ReplyDeleteRima, I am not sure about making you and Nader look tame! ;) I'll grab some shots of the garden tomorrow before we hit the road!
Wow--what a handsome couple! Can I just tell you how beautiful you are Danna! I looove your dress...and I want it. :) Good to see life is treating you well and I loved the pics of you guys on your Caribbean vacation--so fun!

We are at Jake's dad's 60th birthday but it is not as fancy, maybe because it is in Texas. You guys look great. S, now I am curious as to who Dan works for, you can share in an e-mail if you want or not at all. You two look amazing.
ReplyDeleteOooh la la! The St. Regis in NYC. So cool! You both looked simply elegant! Sounds like you had lots of fun. And that goodie bag is really cool!
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks like a fun night out. I hope you enjoyed it to the fullest! I've just been looking at some of your Turks and Caicos pics and it looks absolutely gorgeous! How did you ever get back on the plane to come home? Now I'm looking forward to my Caribbean cruise next year even more!!! Your kids are getting so big, I can't believe it! They are too cute.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun, not our usual crowd, but it is fun to play dress up every once in a while!
ReplyDeleteYea, no one wanted to get back on the plane!! This was our first vacation where the kids were not burned out and ready to come home, strange! It was beautiful, are you going with out kids?
I'm glad the night turned out great. You look very dress. I like your dress.
