We had a great time and enjoyed the many festivities that come with a beautiful wedding. The first of the festivities was a beach front rehearsal dinner equipped with a purely California theme (each table was named after a beach boys song - we sat at Kokomo).
The next night we enjoyed a dinner at Bill's Uncle's house. It was catered by Jerry's Dogs. If you find yourself in southern california, and you like hot dogs, you must -- i repeat -- you must go to Jerry's Dogs. Actually, even if you don't like hot dogs, you should still go. Absolutely delicious.
The wedding was of course spectacular. Unfortunately, I was not very click happy that day or really that weekend so I didn't take very many pictures, but here is one of Bill & Sophie at the wedding.
The next day we had a wonderful brunch at Uncle Roger's house again. Everything was just amazing.
Overall, Sophie did very well considering a 3 hour time change, lots of events, and lots of people around. That being said, she did not "perform" for anyone. Any time we asked her to say hi, give a kiss, wave, sing or do anything - she always rejected us by shaking her head no. As a matter of fact, there were often times when someone would just look at her and she would shake her head no at them for no reason at all. Terribly rude.
Some other highlights from our trip:
Fashion Island - the loveliest outdoor mall that I have ever been to. I often frequented there when I lived Newport Beach. This time our hotel was literally across the street, so I made many visits. They also have a beautiful carousel there, and our last evening we took Sophie on it. She loved every minute of it (and of course I didn't take any pictures of her on it)!
Seaside Bakery - It was so exciting for me to come back here. They have the best "butterfly" pastries. And the price has not gone up in 5 years!!! It is still $1.
Meeting Marley: We had the opportunity to meet up with friends who live in Huntington Beach and meet their 18 month old daughter for the first time. Marley was such a cutie pie and quite the little wrestler! Just barely 19lbs but she took down our 26 pounder plenty of times! Sophie was a good sport though and enjoyed Marley and her toys!
And I will leave you with the fantastic view from our hotel room:
