Bob and Jamie's Wedding

We traveled to San Diego to celebrate a wedding, and it turned out that our Seattle-to-SD flight was a short hop compared to other long distance travelers.  Bob, as groom, came from his base in Japan, along with his bride Jamie.  My sister Laura (Bob's mother) flew in from Maine, along with dad Kent, who also served as the officiant at the wedding.

Many other members of Jamie's extended family came from her home in Florida, and others from Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas.

But the long distance awards went to my sister Lynn and her husband Rick, along with Bob's sister Sarah.... all who managed to come from New Zealand, via Germany.  That doesn't seem like the most direct route, but it worked for them.

Fortunately, my parents and Jamie's 'adopted parents' (John and Terry) have homes here.  We had the rehearsal dinner at the latter, and a Sunday breakfast for family at my parents.

The wedding itself was an out-door affair... picture perfect, albeit cool.  The reception warmed us all with good food and lively dancing.
