The Avalon Ball 2018

These are a few of my favorite things....

Our 16th Year.... Yeah Tradition!

We did it...16 years dancing 26 miles across the sea...if the calculation is correcting that means we have celebrated 415 year-days! Yeah!

So, this year we had 20 in our little group going over down about 20 from last year but we understand vacations, graduations, illnesses, etc.

So let's recap the weekend!
