September 26 - Carmel, California




Barb - We've been planning to make this trip and attend Nathan and Christina's wedding for more than a year, so the day has finally arrived! Greg arrived in San Francisco last night and thankfully was taken care of by his family in Palo Alto. He got to visit the campus of Stanford University and be a student tourist for at least a little while! We all arrived at the hotel courtyard early for pictures. Everything ran a little behind schedule (decorating, photos, etc.) but the day was perfect weather-wise. The ceremony, cocktail reception, dinner reception, and dance were all held at the LaPlaya Hotel, an older but elegant Spanish-style hotel about 3 blocks from the beach and ocean in Carmel. All events were very enjoyable. A touching moment occurred for several of us in the family with a special wedding photo of my parents plus a special dedication of the bride's flowers to my mother and late father at the reception - not too many dry eyes then!
