In this set of pictures there are a few of V & J with their friends Olivia and William playing in the water in our backyard, followed by a bunch of pics from our little trip to Long Beach this weekend. We attended the wedding of an old friend who grew up in KY, lived in our dorm at UK, attended Berkeley for grad school and who has now married a girl from SoCal! So, in general, he's been following us around for years! It was so nice to be able to attend the wedding here in town. They were married on the beach and the flowers, in particular, were lovely, having been brought back personally from Hawaii by the bride's grandparents. The gold circles you'll see are the traditional 1000 paper cranes, glued together to form a beautiful design. You'll also see that there was no wedding cake, but instead...wedding pies!! It was a lovely wedding and we had a good time. The kids had fun at the wedding, but maybe more fun staying in a hotel room for the night. :) On Sunday, we headed over the Downtown Disney and walked around there for a while before heading back home. As an aside, the traffic was SO BAD on the 405 going to Long Beach that we got off the freeway ASAP and ended up doing Mulholland Drive. It's a gorgeous drive with sweeping vistas of the LA basin and Hollywood hills. You can see why people would pay millions to live up there.
