Our trip to California went off without a hitch — that always makes for a nicer vacation. We got in early on Friday morning, giving us plenty of time to rest up for a night of Shanghai Rummy with family and friends (I won).

Saturday was Jen’s wedding. Hands down the wedding with the best music that I have ever been to (and I’ve been to my fair share of weddings). She could not have looked lovelier on her special day! Thanks for remembering we were coming Frank!

Saturday night Gretna, Nicole and I raided Mervyn’s…my stopping point every time we come to California since the nearest one to us is in Grand Junction, 4 hours away!

Sunday after church Noah and I headed to Ojai for lunch with more friends and his family. Than Sunday night Nicole came over for a bit while Noah headed to check out the house a couple sets of his friends purchased together.

Monday we went to breakfast with another friend who was back in town getting their apartment ready as his wife returned from Iraq this morning. After breakfast it was off to the airport.

Good trip, and much more restful than driving (which we will be doing in 6-weeks).  We didn’t take a lot of pictures this trip, but they’ll be posted soon.
