Men, Moonshine, and Matches

That might sound like the worst combo ever...and I'm here to tell you that it most definitely is.
It is also the best way to describe the way I welcomed 2013!
You see, my best friend from college came from North Carolina, and brought some southern magic.
Aka moonshine.  She then took some and did some other southern goodness and made it into some delicious apple cider moonishiney-ness that I could not only stomach without crying fire, but I actually loved! Plus it wasn't nearly as strong, so lightweight Bino (me) could manage to walk into the bar.

 I did come up for air every once in awhile.

But only to pose for a quick picture...then back at it.  I clearly think I'm still in college.
So, while Bennett and I were stuffing out faces with devil chips and sipping on girlified shine, Dom and Murph escaped to play with fire.
Literally.

They successfully shot off a bunch of real HUGE fireworks, but when it came time to light the baby sparklers? Bad news bears.

 Why yes, that is a sparkler exploding in Dom's hand.
But don't fret, Dom still went out. Just with an extra special accessory.

 The bartenders were very nice about refilling his bag every place we went.  He even got some free drinks from his injury!
Besides the minor setback, we had a great time bringing in the new year with our best friends!

 {At Daquiri Deck...my favorite place in Florida!}

Although we did have a great time, we didn't come close to having as good of a time as this guy.

  Maybe next year?

Hope you all had a fabulous night! Just remember, men, moonshine, and matches never mix.

To 2013!
