		<description><![CDATA[We made good on our New Year&#8217;s Eve plans by getting dressed up and going out. We had a fabulous meal at Rosie&#8217;s Cantina, our favorite restaurant, and we walked around Bridge Street until it was time for our movie, Alvin &#38; The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, to start.

The sand was sugary white and not a tar ball in sight, but we did see several jellyfish. As soon as we got there, we had lunch at The Hangout. The food is overpriced, but [...]]]></description>
