Carlin and her family celebrated her bat mitzvah with a sweet and simple buffet-style luncheon at the waterfront Annapolis Maritime Museum.  They wanted a laid-back nautical feel that would allow parents + family members to mingle and nosh while the kids played games (instead of a formal sit down meal.)

Bottle dancers crashed the party, taking guests by surprise and providing lots of entertainment.  They carried Carlin in and then performed different skits and dances which ended with leading everyone in the hora.
