Quick Trip

Two weekends ago we took a quick trip to California for my cousin Amanda's wedding. Even though Amanda and James live here in FW, they wanted to get married in California, and have their reception on my Aunt and Uncle's terrace in Del Mar. It was a fast and furious trip - but we had a blast celebrating with them!

The Sparks flew in to San Diego on Thursday and headed straight to Georges at the Cove in La Jolla to meet my Mom and Dad for some great fish tacos...and maybe a bloody mary or two. (Flying with a baby is stressful). We made it back to the beach condo my parents had rented, took a snooze, and then headed to the beach. Friday we walked the beach in the morning, hosted a bridesmaid brunch at my cousin's home, and then started celebrating Amanda and James at the rehearsal dinner. Saturday was fun filled as well - walk on the beach in the morning, lunch at Jakes on the beach, and then a 3:00 o'clock wedding with a reception that lasted until 10:00 p.m. on my Aunt and Uncle's terrace. It was a fun fun time and it helped to have an angel baby. Truly. Perfect on the plane. Perfect in the church. (Seriously, not one peep). We can't wait to go back and visit again soon!

JMS's first trip to the Pacific! Parents who think ahead would have brought a hat to protect their baby. We brought a burp rag...

Thanks to Aunt MiMi and Aunt Muffin for helping with JMS during the bridesmaid brunch...

Just some of the girl cousins...can you see why I might have been surprised to have a boy?

After sunset it got a little chilly...time to break out the bear jacket!

Congratulations Amanda and James! Thanks for letting us celebrate with you!
