Twelve visits around the world
On Tuesday, December 31, residents of Legacy Village of Castle Pines celebrated the beginning of “A Trip Around the World” at their New Year’s Eve party. The group prepared themselves to set sail to one virtual destination event for each month in 2025.
The “travelers” bid farewell to 2024 with a champagne toast and began the virtual journey around the globe in style wearing captain’s hats. The partygoers danced to live, upbeat music by the band Studio 8, which kept the “cruise” afloat with classics like “Coconut,” “I Want to Go Home” and “Oye Como Va.”
January’s destination was a voyage to Italy. Sommeliers from the Italian winery Tenuta Torciano brought a complete wine and cheese pairing as part of the U.S. tour. The January happy hour drink was the Bellini (which originated in Venice) and residents enjoyed a visit from an Andrea Bocelli impersonator.
This month, residents voyage onward to France, and further adventures await throughout the year.
