braving the wild fires

Last weekend I headed to LA to do a little wedding work with ellen and dad and to meet our new niece. On Saturday, after meeting the Gail, the wedding-planner extraordinaire mom expertly found, we visited the wedding site, listened to ceremony music, and enjoyed the 80 degree temps. Although we did dry through a bit of ash and fog on the way home, we were safe from the crazy wild fires in orange county. Highlights from Saturday night included playing Wii-fit, meeting John's sister Sarah, dinner at OBar, drinks at Hamburger Mary's, dad receiving the bill in a silver, drag-queen heel, and meeting some of smells' friends. On Sunday, we continued the search for the perfect bridesmaids dress (to no avail) and visited with the LA Rietzes. Ivy is precious, Annabelle is hilar, and Bill and Liz are tired, but happy. Bill even made it rain in sunny LA. Dad of the year? I think so!

After a lovely weekend, I took the red-eye home to Charlotte only to find my car battery dead as a doornail...but that's another story for another post. :)
