Friday night was Matt's LT wetting down! A "wetting down" is a fun wardroom gathering a sailor holds when he/she moves up in rank. With the rank comes a pay raise, so the newly promoted gets to treat! :) For this fiesta grande, Matt chose our favorite chiringuito on its last night of the season! The party started at 7pm and lasted until the wee hours of the morning. Everyone shared yummy tapas, sipped on cool beverages, enjoyed the sounds of the waves and kids playing on the beach, and watched the beautiful puesta del sol (sunset). It was SUCH a great time, the weather was amazing, and we were SO appreciative and happy to have so many people come out to celebrate Matt. Some of us (ahem me ahem) even got a little bit silly! As a result, there were LOTS of funny photos taken. Unfortunately for you, they aren't blogger friendly!!! :-O I will, however, share the photos that made the cut! For the PG13 photos, please see me! ;)
Someone was bound to get wet at the "wetting down!!!" IN the ocean he goes!!!
Looks like a good time was had by all. Congrats on the promotion to Lt.

PS Matt looks "boot camp skinny" in these photos. I'm jealous! :-)
:) I will have to tell him you said that! He has been working hard to lose some weight!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, he's got another 15lbs before he's boot camp skinny! BUT, he's eating healthy and losing weight! I'm proud of him!
