David and I spent the last hours of 2009 with our new, dear friends Emma and Josh in Manhattan Beach, CA where the plan was to celebrate with a fabulous home-cooked dinner before ringing in 2010 on the beach under the full, Blue moon. Emma and Josh put together a feast that was beyond amazing … lobster tails, steak, baked potatoes, stuffed mushrooms … it was to die for. We whooped it up a bit when it turned 2010 on the East Coast and ended up throwing a bit of a dance party. In the last hour of 2009, we got on bikes and rode down to Hermosa Beach to ring in the New Year on the Pier with a huge group of revelers there:

I cannot even convey to you how much fun we had. The weather was perfect, the company was perfect … the setting was absolutely perfect! After we rode back to Manhattan Beach, we parked the bikes and made our way down to the water’s edge. There we were, at the end of the continental US standing in front of the Pacific Ocean under the brightest moon possible … it was truly magical. David and I waded a bit into the water so that we could touch the ocean … it was just amazing.

We spent about 20 minutes on the beach before we returned to Josh’s place. That’s when the Polaroid photosession took place. After the jump, check out a few of my fave Polaroids that were snapped last night …

Emma and Josh have become really fantastic friends to us and David and I love them both dearly. They helped make sure that we had an amazing SoCal New Year’s Eve and I am really looking forward to many good times ahead in 2010. I hope YOUR NYE was just as fun, just as special for you. If you snapped any fun pics that you’d like to share, please email them to me at pinkisthenewblog @gmail.com. I’ll need fun photos to share this weekend … so send ‘em in! I hope your 2010 has been amazing thus far … the best, I’m sure, is yet to come!!
