Week 38 and Sarah & Dan's Wedding

Saturday we drove to Healdsburg for Sarah & Dan's wedding. It was scalding. Thankfully, the house we rented with 5 other people had AC and was large and cool. AG and I got the master bedroom with a deep soaking tub - which we used often to cool down.
We arrived Saturday at 3pm and headed for lunch at Willi's Seafood restaurant. Too hot to have too much food, it was a perfect place for little plates. We ordered a small bucket of clams with white wine sauce, heirloom tomatoe salad, and grilled salmon salad. Afterwards we lounged around the house socializing with Shannon, Eli and their 5 month old daughter Isla Love before heading to dinner. Of course we ended up in the parent arena, that shouldn't be too much of a surprise - but it was. AG and I watched the young parents as they fed their children, and almost at the exact time, they all started crying... fussy time; and all the fathers were crooning them to sleep. Odd - like watching the animal planet show.
We left by 10pm - headed back to the house to lounge on the back porch while listening to crickets and watching the stars. Next morning we went back to the town square and had breakfast at a little French Bakery. By the afternoon, the temperature had risen to over 100 degrees. The wedding was at 4:30pm in a cute littel church - and we were so thankful for the little AC that was provided.


I hate crying at weddings and almost got away with it until Dan chocked on his vows, it was very touching.

At the reception we got the low down on Rachel's and Smesh's experience at BM.

Here is Rachel and her pal, Noi. Noi, Hideto and KC are packing up and moving to Japan this month. They've bought a little plot of land and building their dream house - and Noi can be closer to her grandparents and speak Japanese.


Here's AG in his new glasses - aren't they hip?
