  • This weekend was the epitome of lovely.

    Becky and I met up with my family in Maryland for my dad's friend's wedding. We ended up staying in a hotel...little did I know that we'd be staying at the Hilton. Wow. I walked in there and was blown away: statue in the middle of the huge floor, a bar to my right, huge check-in desk. Bec and I were pretty much in awe. After having a reunion with our parents, we trekked upstairs to our room. We ended up getting a free bottle of champagne and little desserts. King sized bed and everything =). The family minus Rachel went to Panera with the groom (Jim) and had a blast. I love seeing my dad happy.

    The wedding the next day was nice. The thing that blew me away was the reception. We followed the cars to a mansion. There were sculptures all around the grass and had a fountain in front of the place. There was even a fountain inside, a pianist, live music with an ACCORDIAN, and absolutely the best food I have ever had. My family and I ate out in the sunlight on what might possibly be the prettiest day of the fall. The whole thing was surreal...like we were in a Hollywood movie. The newlyweds were happy and mingling, my family was together, and the environment was spectacular.

    I couldn't have asked for anything more.
