I know this is the wrong time of year, but because it is so blazingly hot, I was perusing my Picasa albums for some cooler times and came upon our New Year's Eve annual event. We have two of our couple friends over for the festivities for good food, plenty of adult beverage, and of course, a guest room for the night. The next morning is a relaxing breakfast in the hot tub before everyone goes on their merry way.

Is there anything better than a hot tub in the middle of winter?
