The Day After

On the day after the wedding, we woke up at Rob and Michelle's home, just a few miles from the wedding site. We'd had a crazy late night helping clean up the wedding, so we were so happy to accept their offer of a bed-and-breakfast.

The girls had a fun time playing after breakfast, while we grownups chatted.

We then headed up the coast a few miles to Uncle Bill and Aunt Patty's home, where we had a mini family reunion.

My cousins were all in town for the wedding, and we also got to spend time with Aunt Julie and Uncle Michael.

We last saw Julie and Michael in New York, when I was pregnant with Cora. I loved introducing them to the girls in person, after all these years of fun holiday packages and art supplies through the mail.













 It was nice to catch up with the cousins, too. Elizabeth and Jerry are soon moving from Riverside to Chicago for a fantastic job opportunity for Jerry.

Alison and Tyler, and William too, are all doing well in Washington.

 

Most of the family walked down to the beach, though I stayed back with Aunt Patty and Alison to relax on the couch.


















Wish we could have stayed around to pose in the family photo, but we had to get back to SClarita since Stace had to work Monday morning. Plus, he was driving the MGB home, and we wanted to give ourselves plenty of time.

Thanks to my Dad, Aunt Julie and Michelle for all these photos.
