We had a good time Saturday night at the rehearsal dinner and the wedding was fun too!  Jason's toast was a resounding success with just the right amounts of nostalgia and humor.  We made it home safely and it's back to our normal lives. 
 

After the rehearsal we headed south to Monterey.  Jason decided to spend some time working on his toast at a local Starbucks while I headed to the Aquarium.  

Here's Jason working on his toast in the car while we waited for the rehearsal to start.

I really enjoyed the shore bird exhibit, the amazing jellyfish and the otters.  Plus, i was there for feeding time in the big 300-gallon tank.

We've just finished lunch at Hulu Tiki Grill, where I devoured a calamari sandwich and Jason enjoyed cubano pork tacos.  We're just about to head back up the coast to Capitola to check in to our hotel.  Then it's on to the rehearsal dinner.  The wedding will keep us busy tomorrow and then we'll head home Monday afternoon.  Hopefully we get to see a few more local sights before then.  Capitola is supposed to have a cute village and boardwalk, which I think we'll have time to visit.  More fun to come!

We're in California this weekend for Jason's friend Jason Largent's wedding.  We flew in to Oakland yesterday afternoon, ran a few quick errands and then I dropped Jason off at Jason L.'s house before heading to the the bridal shower for Jason L.'s fiancée Michelle.  It was a fun Hawaiian themed party in the early evening and while i was gone the two Jasons got to relax for a bit.  Jason and Jason L. have been friends since high school and my Jason is actually the best man in the wedding.  Today we woke up early and headed to Seascape Beach Resort in Aptos, on the coast, for the wedding rehearsal.  It's an outdoor wedding tomorrow afternoon and we're keeping our fingers crossed for no rain because it was raining sideways during the rehearsal.  The resort had to pass out huge golf umbrellas so everyone didn't get soaked while walking around outside.
