What Might Have Been

Pix from California

We went out west to attend the wedding of our friend's Adam and Dede in Oakland. We went to Montery first to visit our good friends, Colleen and Santi (Amber's old roommates and 2 of our favorite people). Thursday was spent at a day spa - it was totally the wives' idea, I swear!! We drove up the Pacific Coast Highway on Friday, taking the long, scenic route to Berkeley/Oakland. The wedding was on Saturday night, so we had Saturday morning to take the ferry over to San Francisco and hang out at the Farmer's Market.

My Cousin's Wedding

Before heading out to California last week, we went to my cousin's wedding on a plantation just outside of Charlottesville. I'm sure the former owner's were rolling over in their graves!

Wild, Wild West

 

So, we're sitting here enjoying the weather, and look what was walking down the street!

California Dreamin'

Greetings from the Left Coast! The FW and I are in Monterey for a few days before heading up to Berkeley for a wedding. It's about 35 degrees cooler here than it was in DC when we left yesterday. It's actually chilly - 62 degrees or so. Brrr!

Happy 4th

Hope you all had a happy and safe Independence Day. I did it in the quintessential American way - with my family and friends, drinking beer and eating burgers and dogs cooked over hot coals. It doesn't get any better.

And to close out my favorite holiday, here's our National Anthem.

Virginia is for.... Patriots!

Wahoowa! 

Happy Independence Day Folks!!

Summer Time - it's a family thing

My little brother and his family (his wife Maggie and daughter Maya) are flying in tomorrow morning from San Diego. I'm so excited - since he moved out the west coast 8 years ago, it's very rare that the entire clan gets together. For the 4th, we're all headed to my sister's house (Mom and Dad will be there too), and on Saturday, everyone will be driving to Charlottesville for my cousin's wedding - 4 generations will be there!
