The MDHS Class of 1985's 20th Reunion is officially underway!

Saturday, August 20, 2005

Friday night's social got the party started! 46 of us enjoyed each other's company at the Marriott Main Street Bar, and the evening flew by, but for several of us, the night didn't end there.

The adventure officially began when Suzette said "Vamos!" WPLJs was our next destination, and we danced until we closed the place down. On our walk back to the hotel, some of us decided that a trip to the beach was in order, but first Todd made sure we were prepared! We took pillows and blankets from Chris' room, and then we stopped by Suzette's house to get outfitted with warm jackets and socks and flip flops. Nations was calling to us, and we enjoyed a hearty meal before hitting the road. Christina drove the group through pea soup-thick fog up to Twin Peaks, and back down the mountain to Ocean Beach, where Todd and Chris got two fires going for us. Bundled in blankets, Nancy and Suzette enjoyed a cat nap. Karen and Christina took pictures, and Kevin suggested we find a seagull to roast on the blazing fire. We told stories and made each other laugh and we watched a brightly-lit tanker cross the darkness before us and enter the bay under the Golden Gate Bridge. The salty mist off the ocean cooled our faces as the sun rose, bringing light and clarity to the horizon. After dousing the fires with sand, we headed back to the east bay. Back at the hotel, we took a last group photo and parted ways to rest up for the long night ahead, when the fun times will continue with the rest of our classmates who are able to join us - we sure wish everyone could be here with us!

I never imagined it would be as much fun as it is so far!
