Winter Formal

This past weekend was the winter formal at the Coast Guard Academy, and the last formal at the Academy! I tried to surprise David this weekend and although that did not work as planned, we still had a great time! I flew into Hartford, CT on Friday night and David picked me up from the airport.  On Saturday, we tried to go to DJ's for breakfast, but it was closed by the time we got there so we went to the Portuguese Fisherman instead.  It was delicious! Then we went back to the Academy and went for a walk around campus for a while.  It was a beautiful day out and it so was nice to be able to spend the day outside.  Then we went to Fred's to hangout with some of the guys where we played chess and watched movies.  Later that afternoon, I had to go back to get ready for the formal to be there by 7 pm for dinner.  We had filet mignon, potatoes, and vegetables for dinner and sat at the table with Sam, Rachel, Will, and Morgan.  After dinner, we headed over to the dance, but the line was really long just to get inside, so we went down to the lounge to play a game of pool.  Will and Morgan won, but David and I were so close! By the time we got up to the dance, everyone was already on the dance floor so we joined right in and danced the rest of the night! The band played a lot of great songs that were fun to dance to and I had such a great time! I did not have to leave until later on Sunday so we were able to go to DJ's for breakfast with Sam and Rachel and then we watched "V for Vendetta" until it was time to go to the airport.  Goodbyes are never easy, but I know that David will be home in 10 days! I am so excited for Christmas break!
