The Year of West Coast Weddings

I just want to say that it is very convenient that we moved to Southern California just before everyone decided to get married out here! We are very indebted to our friends for throwing such fabulous parties and giving us great reasons to get out of LA and travel.

Firstly, a big thanks to Luc and Melissa for kicking things off (and setting a hell of a high bar) with their gorgeous beach-front wedding on Isla Holbox in Mexico. We had a wonderful time exploring the Yucatan Peninsula.

Secondly, thanks to our newest newlyweds Rachel and Mike. Their nuptials at Yosemite led us to the park for the first time. What a beautiful place to be married! Again, we had a really good time.

And next up, Mike and Rose who are getting married just outside of San Francisco. We would've been up to visit anyway, but thanks for speeding things along! We are looking forward to exploring the Napa/Sonoma Valley wineries and celebrating your big day.

We are really happy that we will be able to have shared these special times with you, and that may not have been the case if we hadn't decided to head out this way! Just think of the airfare and wedding gifts alone.

Yosemite, First Impression

OK,

So it was 40-50 degrees and raining all day today, and the clouds were hanging low ang gray overhead.

But this is still one of the most breathtaking places that I have ever seen.

More to come, with pics.

Wedding pics (finally)

From Melissa Luc W...

So I have finally managed to upload some wedding pics to Picasa Follow the link below the pic above to check them out. I plan to upload some more shots from our trip later this week.

It's been a while...

Since our last post, I have spent a lot of time in photoshop working on the photos for Luc and Melissa's wedding. The whole experience in Mexico was great, and it was a lot of fun being able to take the photos for their wedding. Luc set up an FTP site, and it took several days to upload all 12gb of photos that I took, and Melissa said it took them quite a long time to go through them all!!! But I think that they were pleased with them. I hope to post a couple online this week sometime.

April and I just got our new bikes, and went to Topanga Canyon State Park yesterday for a 2-hour ride in the mountains. It was really challenging, but at the end of the trail, you have an AMAZING view of the Pacific Ocean from the top of the Santa Monica Mountains. It was really hazy, and I left my camera in the car, so you will have to wait till next time for pics.

Now that we have bikes (compliments of my employer!), we are riding them everywhere, and it will really cut down on how much driving we do, esp. on the weekends. It's really easy to get around on our side of town on a bike.

Anyhow, more to come, with some pics. I am sure that April has some "crazy bus people" stories to post.
