As I mentioned, we took a road trip last week. We had ourselves an occasion! A wedding. Don't you love weddings? This was a family wedding, which is really the best of all the best things.
I love that we can leave San Diego at 9:30 am and arrive in the tall trees by nightfall.
San Diego to Tahoe is totally do-able in one day, but why? There are pit stops to be had, and I've always been one to choose comfort over pain. We had a fun family night and morning in Mammoth, then arrived in Tahoe just as all of our peeps were checking in to our Most Excellent Hotel.

| We owned that hotel. |
See my boy and my girl up there at the top of that last photo, going in to a room? That was our room. When you looked out the window, you saw this:
It was a good, good room in a good, good spot with very good, good people for a good, great wedding.
 |
| Sanjay say yaaaaaaaaay! |
 |
| It really didn't suck there. What am I doing? What is in my hands? I honestly have no earthly idea. |
Have you ever been to Lake Taco in the summer? People, I recommend it.
It was glorious to have that great spot just a couple of miles from the magnificent home of Bill's sister, aka mother of the bride, and her magnificent family. It was a wedding weekend! The love was palpable.
 |
| The bridesmaid/cousins performed a song for the soon-to-be-betrothed couple, because that's what they do |
 |
| They have other tricks, too! Here they are being shown up by the next generation |
 |
| We had the luxury of going back and forth between lake living and nuptials. what a life~ |
 |
| The tootsies got some attention |
 |
| Then karma in the form of Ju-la-la paid my good girl back |
 |
| Doesn't it look like Sanjay is dancing with Clara? |
 |
| That's an aggressive dance |
Lake hijinx aside, we finally got to go and be with the big event, the reason we'd all gathered
 |
| Sally and Daniel got hitched! |
 |
| They were lovely, it was lovely |
 |
| Cousins! |
We decided to take a family photo, cuz we looked goooood. Here are some (more) outtakes
 |
| anything in my teeth? |
 |
| Who's the boss? |
 |
| this one's my favorite. 4 for 4 |
 |
| Everything was all wrong |
 |
| but we fixed it. stay tuned for Christmas for the keepah |
 |
| #occupytables |
 |
| these two made me sniffle |
The weekend flew by, it was so great. On Sunday morning we had to pack up and leave our lovely room, but it wasn't on fire or anything
 |
| Despite some guests' means of egress |
We had the chance for one last visit with our lovelies
and then we were off. The wedding a happy light in our rearview mirror. I love weddings.
So, who's next?
My 2 favorite things about this post are
ReplyDelete1) that it took place in one of my all time favorite places (which I have only been to in the summer)
and
2) that you have a beautiful niece named Sally (which belongs to my mother and my daughter)
The rest was lovely as well, but I thought I'd start with my favorites!
You peoples are gooooood looooookin'. It's so nice to see everybody! All those faces we used to see occasionally but haven't for ever such a long time.
ReplyDeleteYour childrens and nieces and nephews and inlaws are just gorgeous creatures, and I love gazing upon every face. And what a spot!
So lovely.
Maybe you should do a collage of *all* those family photos for your Christmas card? Because they are beyond awesome.
And I know! I'm ready for another wedding too.
Love so deeply.

Lake Taco! I love that! (I called it Lake Ha-Toe when I was little, I mean is the order really SO important?) You and your peeps look lovely and I can't wait to see the Christmas card. I have a new address. ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Jacquie, I love seeing the Kennedy clan again....xoxo mom
