SF Bay Au Pair Disco Cruise!

Posted by: crobinson on June 5, 2009

On Saturday May 30th over 230 au pairs and their friends from all over the SF Bay Area, danced the night away on the SF Bay! Breathtaking views were taken in of the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco skyline, Angel Island, Alcatraz, the Marin headlands, and Sausalito. The weather was a bit cool up on deck, but down below it was hot as the DJ got everyone moving. Au Pairs had a fun time taking pictures, clowning around wearing cowboy hats & tiaras, and groovin’ to the steady beat! This was the first SF Bay cruise that Cultural Care has sponsored,and it was such a huge success — we plan to make this an annual event!
