Puttin' on the ritz!

Roper St. Francis gala, Charleston, SC

Last night was the Roper St. Francis Healthcare donor appreciation gala at Belmond Charleston Place Hotel. What fun to see the people we work with every day all dressed up! I let the professional photographers do their thing and only grabbed a couple of cell phone shots of the festivities.

It's tradition! Everyone must pause and admire the model train display at Charleston Place Hotel each holiday season. Can you imagine packing that up each year? It's worth it. Thank you Charleston Place Hotel.

It never gets old and is a treat to see each year - the model train display under the grand chandelier in the lobby of the Belmond Charleston Place Hotel. The stairs on either side were full of parents lifting excited children to watch the trains roll by. Thank you Belmond Charleston Place!

Funny, until I looked it up for the link I had been calling it the Belmont with a "t". It took me years to stop calling it the Omni. I'll get there.
