Wedding Day....

Well, the wedding was fabulous, and we had such a great time!  Karen just passed the Bar exam, and now she is working and Pete is going back for his masters in International Business.  He just spent 3 weeks in China, and they are going to Italy for their Honeymoon!  They did the wedding their way, very economically.  They had a friend take pictures, another friend made the cake, which was beautiful.  She didn't want a Vail or flowers, saying they were a waste of money.

The drive to DC was about 3 hours, well maybe 3 1/2 hours including stopping for breakfast.  We drove down with my sister & brother in law, Andy & Nancy, so we discussed everything under the sun, including the wedding and wondering who would be there.  The bride and groom reserved a block of rooms at the Rouge hotel because it was only a block from the reception.  They had a bus take us to the church and back.  The hotel was very modern.  They called it a boutique hotel.  A little too modern for my taste, but everyone stayed there so it was fun.

I can tell you that fun was had by all.  It is always special when we can get together with family!

It's good to be home.

DC Wedding...

Happy Friday everyone!  The weekend is here and this weekend we are headed to Washington, DC for a wedding.  Our whole family is going minus the first born, age 35, he is going on a Man weekend with 6 other guys to one of their cabins up  in Vermont.  This friend and his girlfriend built a cabin on this island.  It has no running water yet and you have to take a boat to get there!  Not my kind of vacation for fun. But they go every year and work on the cabin.  Anyway, I am getting off track here.  We are heading out tomorrow.

It is going to be so much fun!  The wedding is going to be held at St. Charles Borromeo Church in Arlington, VA.  and the reception is being held at The Carnegie Institution for Science, in Washington.  This should be interesting.  I will be sure to take many pictures to post at a later date.

There is a block of rooms reserved for family at The Rouge Hotel at 16th street NW and Intersection of Rhode Island NW Washington, DC.  We have never stayed there but I looked it up and it is kind of a Boutique Hotel owned by Kimpton Hotels.  All I know is that it is going to be HOT!

Hope you all have some fun things planned this weekend, and a way to stay cool!
