Halloween Costumes

Off we went to the costume party- dogs in halloween collars and us in middle eastern apparel! People didn't recognize me in my Cleopatra wig, haha, and Henrik in his authentic Saudi Arabian thawb and keffiyeh.  We sported a lot of long black hair!

Majesty of the Seas

KC, Donna, myself, Henrik, Wendy, and Rachel in the Schooner Bar

 I just returned from my first ever cruise!  What a unique concept- thousands of strangers trapped on a boat with so many amenities that you forget you're in the middle of the ocean.  We set sail from Miami en route to Coco Cay, a private island in the Bahamas, but due to rough waters, we only dropped anchor for a few hours and weren't able to disembark.  So we went to Nassau instead, in the rain, but we all had a wonderful time regardless!

Even the Porter celebrated by Birthday Month :)

Key West Wedding Weekend

Simply a gorgeous day for a trip across the 7-mile bridge

The Best of Key West

Henrik and I are having a blast in Key West! We are staying at a quaint bed & breakfast right off Duval Street. He has met three college roommates so far, with more Allegheny friends to come at Jessy's wedding this afternoon! We've been to Sloppy Joe's and the Southernmost Point in the continental US. And even met a drag queen from Sweden! Lots of characters around this place, that is for sure :)
