Albuquerque

We made our annual trip to Albuquerque for some post-Christmas fun.  We arrived on the 26th and had a big Christmas feast (catered, which made it even better, since no one had to cook).  After eating, we all opened gifts and played some games.

We spent the days lounging around.  Most days, we hit the gym in the morning.  We saw a movie one afternoon (Jumanji, which was entertaining), and played some vicious games of Ping Pong (I didn't get any pictures--but next time, we should probably consider broadcasting on pay-per-view).  We also took a trip to the bowling center.  Bode started off hot--two strikes in a row, and had 54 pins after 3 frames, but he quickly returned to his usual form :-)  Afterwards, Pat and Sean played a killer game of air hockey.

On our last afternoon, we played some bocci on a regulation bocci court.  It was rather fun, but surprisingly tough.

The holiday season is winding down.  We have New Year's Eve tomorrow night, which I'm sure we'll celebrate in our usual (boring) fashion.  Not sure what the start of the new year will bring--probably a nice long jog to burn off all the calories I consumed :-)
