Photos from Erica and Keet’s Wedding in Monterey

by Leave a Comment

Michelle and I spent a wonderful weekend with her dad’s side of the family down in Monterrey, CA for her cousin’s wedding. The weather was fantastic, the venue beautiful and the company was wonderful. We had a blast. Michelle and I were fortunate enough to be invited to the rehearsal dinner at a historic building/restaurant called Stokes. We sat next to Keet’s Mother’s Twin Brother Bill and his wife Susan and just had a blast. Lots of great food, wine and conversation about their life in Japan, traveling and kids.

The wedding on the following day was in the Memory Garden near the Portola Hotel which was an open atrium with four massive magnolia trees the provided cover and a hanging opportunity for the lights. The service was touching, Erica and Keet were amazing and we got to spend time with our favorite relatives from Santa Cruz including Erica’s Dad and Step-Mom (Ron & Jill Lindsay).

The day after, we had the chance to visit Keet’s parents house in Carmel Valley and thank them for a lovely weekend. The pictures below only tell a portion of the story of the weekend, but wanted to get them online to share.

For Lindsay’s 12th birthday, we spent a great weekend at Dabob Bay on a camp spot owned by some other parents at West Woodland Elementary school. The property had an almost finished bunk house, picnic table, composting toilet, running water and a shed – it was lovely. Lindsay invited here closest friends from school and the neighborhood. Jackson brought his buddy Findley while Michelle and I brought my mom :-). The weather was perfect, the girls were awesome, Jackson & Findley had a blast while Michelle, Barbara and I had a blast getting to know Lindsay’s school pals better.

The weekend was pretty jammed packed with meals, clamming, swimming in the bay, swinging on the rope swing, swinging on the hammock, deep conversations, playing with dogs and fire building. Tess has some pictures of the clam digging and mud fight so we’ll post those when we get them, otherwise – enjoy!

What a Fun Summer it Is!

Hello! Sorry it has been so long since we’ve posted, but it’s been a go-go summer (as always) and the time seems to slip away. One of my goals was to get Lindsay posting on the blog, but she’s been busy with her own activities like camp Sealth (with Jackson, Jessie and friends), working with her dog Lucy, lots of sleep overs and extended weekends with friends, babysitting gigs, lots of time in Mazama and a trip to Santa Cruz with Michelle.

Jackson went to camp Sealth as well, he and I did a river raft down the Yakima with the cub scout pack, soccer camp, play dates with his buddies like Findly and Davis, lots of time in Mazama, playing with his hamster Yoshi and sleeping in late.

Michelle has had her hands full wrangling the family, going to Mazama, Jacqui and Greg’s wedding in Hawaii, trip to Santa Cruz for a bridal shower, zoo concert organization and the massive garden that looks wonderful.

My time has been focused on my new job, getting to Mazama as much as possible, tennis, zoo tunes, small projects around the house, some guitar and watering the garden while Michelle is away.

We’re looking forward to a long week in Mazama at the end of August, beginning of Sept., gearing up for school, going to Santa Cruz in Sept for Erica’s wedding and all the fun things that fall brings (including a new season of Top Chef!).

Aloha and best wishes to you and your fishes!
