Emerald Isle

we took off to emerald isle, nc over the wkend for a family friend's wedding. wesley also grew up in the neighborhood--- eric thinks he babysat him (gawd we're getting old). a few of the familes from 'easie and vale' still get keep in touch and meet up every christmas.

the wedding was casual chic, cozy and scenic on the beach (love the beach weddings, oh that's right, we had one too ;-)

there was a pig roast, tasty shrimp and fun beach cake, so no one left hungary.
it stormed all wkend except the day of the wedding (so fortunate!), which is double good luck in asian supersitiion. the rain washes away the couple's all past misgivings so they can start their life togehter fresh and new. we so hope this is true( since there was some wedding drama(sigh).

we had one perfect day to play on the beach; and along with the wedding, made the trip worthwile.

the only 'downside' was the drive. gramma rented a van, so we were super comfy. but on the drive down, Garmin took us around and around ---ah, the joys and pains of technology. then on the way home, the rain slowed us down. both times, it should have only taken us 7hrs, but was closer to 9hrs!

but like, gramma said, 'if we can survive 9 hours in the car with two on-the-go toddlers, we can survive anything!'

PS, work has been CRAZY busy lately, so of course, i forgot to pack the camera. arent the best pics w/a disposable.
