Around The World In 8 Floors

On our day off, we planned an around the world party at the hotel in Cincinnati. The point of the party being to chose different countries or states, and serve drink and food unique to that region. Since Dylan our original trumpet 1 player was leaving us the day after the party we decided to chose our region to honor him. He is from Philadelphia and so we decided to have soft pretzels and drinks to honor his red hair. We did rename it Schwabadelphia after his last name. It was a crazy night which resulted in at least 4 noise complaints and one smoke alarm going off. Here are a few carefully chosen pictures:

Sharing my gift with the world

Just for the record, I have now shared many embarassing and awkward photos that are just calling to be made into Christmas cards. I will be really disappointed if there are no humorous cards this year. Just saying!
