Work Christmas Party

Our Seattle office put together a cruise on Lake Washington this year. It was alot of fun. Gary and I headed up to the party around 4:30 pm because of such a long drive. The cruised didn't board until 6:30 pm so we had to head back up the street to the local shops and spend some time in one of the pubs there. The one we sat at was such a dive for such a cute little part of Kirkland we were in. Everything was all lit up on the streets with Christmas lights and it was very cold outside.

We headed back to the dock to board the boat and I was surprised to see that they were taking pictures of all the passengers who were on the ship that night. I thought our company was paying for this service but it turned out at the end of the night we had to fork over 10 bucks for our pictures.

Our boat the "MV Kirkland" was old but had plenty of room for our entire group. We were supposed to be part of the Lake Washington Christmas light parade for boats but the route they were taking that night would have decapitated the top half of our ship. So the captain opted out. We didn't get to see much of the lake as we were to busy eating and socializing.

Part of the group got quite rowdy and at one point one of the female employees announced she wanted to have sex with all the managers....doh! I don't know how many other people heard it but Gary and I sure did as we were standing alone on the bow of the boat. There was alot of Karaoke without the machine. The food was ok, and of course I had to find out if there was anchovy paste in the Caesar dressing. There was so the yummy looking salad was out for me. I had to load up with carbs.

All in all it was a good night.....I didn't feel very good the next day, I think I may have had too much wine even though I didn't feel like I had a typical hangover or that I was woozy at the party. I pretty much just laid around the next day after I took the baby to the doctor.

I look forward to our office co-ordinating next years Christmas event.
