Wedding #1: California

Fred and I got home yesterday from, as my co-worker Michelle described it, "flitting about the country to attend weddings." Our first trip was to Los Angeles, where Fred's friend and college baseball teammate Brian and his fiancee Kathy were getting married.

We got in on Friday at lunchtime, Amy picked us up from the airport, and she and Christopher entertained us until we had to be downtown for the rehearsal on Saturday. We had a great time with them, especially since we hadn't spent much time together since we all got married two years ago (Christopher and Amy got married two weeks after we did). Below is a picture that Amy took of Fred and I at Zuma Beach near Malibu.


The wedding was on Sunday, and it was very nice. I really enjoyed meeting several of Fred's teammates from college. After the wedding, we spent two relaxing days with Fred's Aunty Jane in Redondo Beach. She was kind enough to drive us out to Claremont, where Harvey Mudd (Fred's alma mater) is located. It was fun to get to finally see all of Fred's old haunts, and Claremont is a really pretty town. Here's a picture of Fred and Aunty Jane at Harvey Mudd:


Overall it was a very nice trip. We flew out Wednesday for Missouri, where my brother Ryan and his fiancee Sarah got married on July 5. I'll write more about that trip soon.
