Cali Trip

We had a great time in California at my friend Stephanie's wedding. First off, what a party Stephanie and Justin! We had a great time and you were so beautiful Steph.

Sydney did great on the plane and the 6 hour car ride that should have only taken 3 hours. We got our rental car in LA at 5 o'clock, which means spending 1 hour in traffic and only traveling 10 miles. (I am not kidding) At that point Sydney was hungry so we pulled off in Hollywood at some park to feed her. Another hour gone and we are back on the highway, we ended up getting in to San Luis Obispo around 11 pm. We were pooped!!!

Friday was the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at Angie and Guido's home. They served an amazing Italian spread with 5 courses for dinner and 6 courses for dessert!

Saturday was the wedding and Eric took care of Sydney all day so that I could fulfill my bridesmaid duties. It was a nice break and Eric had fun with his daughter. The wedding was elegant and heartfelt and you could really feel the church overflowing with love. The reception was a blast and we danced the night away.

Sunday we had breakfast at Deb and Ray's house (Steph's parents). Again, another great feast and fellowship. After we had enjoyed most of the day with our friends we decided we had to go to the beach. It was a little cloudy that day but we could not pass the chance to bring Sydney to the Pacific Ocean.

Monday was another great traveling day and we were home by 10 pm. We all slept well that night and Eric headed in to work. All in all it was a great trip and we met a ton of great people and enjoyed the west coast weather. Alabama is beyond hot!!!
