4 x 4 weekend

This weekend was so busy with so many fun activities. (See my previous post!) But it was great hanging out with a lot of fun people.

We spent time this weekend with our two 4 x 4 groups. These groups of four couples meeting once a month for four months are overlapping because it took our last group until now to finish. Jenny hosted the event with breakfast at Gourmet Pie and then a scavenger hunt.

It was girls against the boys. We not only had to procure certain items (the cough drop and the Christmas cookie were the hardest) but we had to fill in blanks in Christmas carols and take photos in front of certain things.

Funniest story was that of John Newman asking a woman's help with the Christmas carol challenge. From a rolled down window of the car, he asked the unsuspecting victim, "Do you know 'All I Want for Christmas is You'?" Apparently this pseudo pick-up line didn't work so well as she immediately rolled up her window.

We then joined our new 4 x 4 group on Sunday night for dinner and a boat cruise around Naples in Robert Gull's aunt's enclosed, heated boat. It was so cool listening to Christmas carols and seeing all the beautiful multi-million dollar homes all decked out for Christmas. We decided we all wanted to go in on one particular home for sale on the point of Treasure Island (price tag $9 million but cheap compared to its original asking price of $13 million). But after doing the math, we decided that even if the four couples all went in together AND put our children to work, we still couldn't afford it!

I have included some photos here from our first 4 x 4's scavenger hunt. No photos unfortunately from the second group, since I don't have any... yet.
