Car trip up to Carmel/Montery for Kelley & Andy's Wedding!

On Friday Oct. 3 we drove up to Carmel Valley for my cousin Kelley's wedding. We had a packed car of people and luggage for 6hours. Aunt Kimi & Uncle Robb were great entertainment for Keaton--thank you!! We arrived at Quail Lodge Resort--what a beautiful location--and very nice accommodations! That night we all got ready for the rehearsal dinner in Carmel by the Sea--what a great restaurant--Keaton loved being a part of the night and his grilled cheese!!! On Saturday we woke up early and went back to Carmel by the Sea for Breakfast at Katy's Place and then down to the beach to feel the soft sand in our toes!! Then after a long nap we went to the Aquarium in Monterey with GG, Papa G & Aunt Kimi. Keaton loved touching the starfish and trying to eat the seaweed. He also enjoyed the jellyfish & loved standing in font of a huge aquarium and watching all the fish swim by--Thanks GG & Papa G for a great time!! Then we rushed back to Carmel Valley to get ready for the wedding. It was our first time leaving Keaton with a babysitter---so Aaron and I were a little nervous meeting the babysitter for the first time. Lucky she was great and we only called a few times during the wedding! The wedding was beautiful...The rain held off for the ceremony and Kelly and Andy never looked so happy!! ...then to the cocktail hour and reception. The food & atmosphere was great, but the best part was being with family! We extended out babysitter for an extra hour and enjoyed the rest of the night till 10:00! The next day we checked out, went to breakfast, then we were off on our car trip! On the way home we stopped for lunch to see Aunt Flora. It was great to see her and we will have to come back to visit soon to see her new house & Uncle Ed. We had a great time seeing our family...and we can't wait to see everyone again soon! --K
