One of my friends from high school got married this past
weekend. Coincidentally, one of Jeff's best friends from high school
got married the same weekend, so Jeff took off for Yosemite and a quick
trip to see his parents, and I packed up my car to head to Massachusetts.
I was excited because the closest to a roadtrip I'd been able to take in
my car since buying it last July were a couple trips for work to southern
Virginia and to Eastern Maryland. Not exactly very exciting stuff.
I left Thursday after work, and I decided to swing by my parents' new
house in Waterford, CT. I spent a few days with them and enjoyed
shopping with my mom at an outlet mall and going kayacking with my dad out
to the ocean (they live on a little river that is about a 20 minute kayack
out to
Long Island Sound).
Saturday was the wedding
and I had a great
time. I was at the
high school table
which as I'm sure you have seen at any wedding you have been to, is the
rowdy, fun table. ;) We were the only people clinking our glasses and
for about 90%
of the evening, the only people on the dance floor, where we did the naked
tie dance (don't worry, it's not really naked), a dance that was last
performed at our senior prom.
After the wedding a
group of us who had been really close in high school decided we and our
spouses/so's would
meet up in Vegas next June. I sure hope we do, because I had a great time
seeing everyone again. And other than hitting some traffic right before
the GW bridge,
it was a great roadtrip.
