Charleston, SC 2008

I talked Kevin into taking a cruise to celebrate our engagement. Kevin gave into my ridiculousness. Our cruise home port was Charleston, South Carolina so we spent an afternoon there.

New Year's at Rodney and Uli's 2007 --> 2008

Uli and Rodney invited all of us over for New Years and we had a fabulous time. Lots of dancing and special German traditions for New Years, since Uli is German.
