We will be flying to San Jose tomorrow and then driving to Big Sur for our older son's wedding on Saturday. I cannot believe it is finally here; they have been engaged over a year. Our younger son, his best man, flew in yesterday from NYC and will head north with us.

Today the Bride and Groom leave for Big Sur to camp out a night together before all the whoop-de-do starts. My sister and her spouse are off on a leisurely car trip there, and DD and her family are juggling to get the terrible-twos son and his older brother happy and organized for the trip on Friday too.

This should be a beautiful wedding among the redwoods. We will have the rehearsal dinner BBQ also at another redwoods campsite where 5 sites have been reserved for the occasion. The wedding will be high on a bluff where we can see the rivers and ocean in the distance, and then the reception will be at their favorite little restaurant there which we will take over completely.

This young bride is perfect for our son, and they do make a happy, loving couple. They are both in their 30s, and have dated now for 6 years. They will take a short trip to Napa and then next summer plan a real honeymoon to Italy and Paris.

See you here on Monday!
