the Ritz {2014}

*Lesson learned, don't ask people that have been drinking to take photos for you {90% of these} when your camera is on manual mode in lower light {it ends in a blurry mess of goodness!}  
Once a year we go to a local charity event with some friends.
We spend the night at the hotel {the Embassy}
We have dinner followed by a dance
Group photos are always interesting with our friends!
Girls!! :)
And of course, nothing really happened if it isn't on Instgram! :)

I'm going to make an effort to post more about our local adventures since I am always looking for fun, new places to take the kids or go out with my hubby.

I've posted in the past about Baconfest, Backyard Adventures, SkyZone, Sculpture Park, Zoo Tunes, Iowa State Fair 2012, Iowa State Fair 2013,  Tubing at SevenOaks in Boone, Free Little Libraries, Jumpin Jacks, and tons of local Christmas Activities.  I've briefly mentioned the farmer's market {which is a pretty big deal here} few concert and shows, and tons of restaurants, but there are so many places we've been and things we've experienced around this city that I haven't even mentioned.  I'm assuming others would like local suggestions.
