It's a Gala...a Regatta Gala

It was actually not a regatta gala, but I couldn't stop telling people it was. It just comes out of my mouth, preceding the word "Gala". Blame it on watching too many Friends episodes.

This weekend Brad and I headed down to Tacoma to attend a fundraiser for the Northwest Leadership Foundation. My cousin works for the foundation and invited us to join them for an evening of eating, drinking, dancing and gambling. It was a masquerade, called "Venetian Carnival". We didn't win the trip to Venice, but we did play blackjack ALL NIGHT LONG. I was quite a pro in the end!
