What do we do now? (Day after the wedding!)

 Sunday September 26 - Here are a few more wedding photos!



The bagpiper that played at the wedding, a friend that both Ian and his Dad play in a band with.




All set for the ceremony.  The flowers were done by a family friend of Ian's





Kevin did such a great job on his toast, love this pic with Elaine, Meg and Ian all laughing.




Meg put together a video montage of the weekend!



After cleaning up a bit at the vineyard, we decided to go camping at Morro Strand State Beach again.  Was nice to be back in the van after 3 days at the Carleton!

Monday September 27 - Bob and Janet were sticking around after the wedding so we spent the day with them in Morro Bay.




The clam Bob fed to a seagull, watched him drop to break it open to eat, Bob picked it back up and Janet photographed it for posterity

picnic with a view








Tuesday September 28 - Next we headed to Sanger, CA (outside of Kings Canyon) for a few days of relaxing with the Baumgardners/Pardis.  Emily booked a great Airbnb that they had planned to spend the week at before heading back to Ohio.  They were hoping to go to Sequoia/Kings Canyon, but both were closed due to the fire.   They decided to go to Yosemite instead, but Kev and I decided we needed a zero day and stayed back at the house for some R & R with Gram.  We played lots of games while we were there and really enjoyed the beautiful view from the deck.


nice view!






great game table!!





last day was a little smokey, but still beautiful

Wedding Day!!!

 Saturday September 25 - It was an early morning walk around Atascadero with Janet and breakfast at the cafe, then getting ready for the wedding.  The photographer took photos on the patio with Elaine's friends/family.  Everyone hopped on the shuttles and Elaine and I drove to the wedding.  Dinner was awesome (can't believe I forgot to take a picture!)  Meg and Kev both gave speeches that were perfect, funny and heartfelt!  I was extremely proud of them!  Then it was LOTS of dancing.  What a completely magical night.  Elaine and Ian did a great job on every aspect of the party!  Can't wait to see the official photos, but here are some my photos of the highlights of the day.
