January 1, 2015. Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. The First Day.

The Winter Classic and Football. What could be better for the first day of the year that that? Ken and I did not even care who was playing football. We just watched a part of each game and enjoyed every minute. And to top it off, the Capitals won in the last few seconds at The Winter Classic in Washington, D.C. This is the sixth time they have held this outdoor hockey game. It seems astonishing to me that folks attend the game where they can barely see the rink, let alone the puck, but it is a huge success and a definite trendy event. The game in Washington was sold out in hours, I am told. Add to the TV, we enjoyed both lunch and dinner with Christina and the girls. An unexpected pleasure tonight was dinner at the Japanese restaurant in the mall. It is a restaurant that opens only for dinner and normally we ate out at lunch but tonight we decided on Mexican but quickly changed our plans when we realized the Sushi bar was open. The food was excellent. By the time we left, they were crowded so our timing was perfect. It was a fine way to begin the new year; Winter Classic, Football, Loving Family and Good Food.
