Secret Kite Festival

A kite festival is a very public event intended to promote the art and sport of kite flying. The "Secret Kite Festival" was just the opposite - an invitation only, week long party centered around a group of friends celebrating the New Year.

Katy and I flew in the morning of New Year's Eve, arriving in Gainesville in plenty of time for the Aoxomoxoa party at Dean Jordan's that evening. It was a DOTA reunion. And it was beautiful.



The party lasted until Friday when we drove to St. Augustine to continue the festivities along the shore. We booked rooms at the St. Aug Beach Resort that sits on the south side of the lovely Anastasia State Park. We picnicked, flew kites and entertained the passersby and beach goers.

What a great way to bring in the New Year.

Wishing you a great 2009!
