Erin and Tim's Wedding on Orcas Island



The wedding was beautiful! The setting was perfect! What a happy couple.
Orcas is a small island off the coast of Washington in the Peugot Sound. It is one of the San Juan Islands that we all hear about. It is a destination for summer vacationers with camping and water sports and just relaxing.
We had a great time meeting Tim's brothers and Erin's friends.

Trip to New Jersey and New England


Jim and I spent a full two weeks traveling in New England and finishing up in Red Bank. We arrived at the Newark airport on Thursday, June 22nd. We rented a car on Friday and headed out to explore New England. Neither jim or I had spent much or any time in New England so this was truly a time to explore the area.

The Hudson River Valley is beautiful. We stopped to see the Vandervbilt home and Hyde Park.

Saratoga Springs is very quaint. Cute little downtown and the race track is unbelievable.

After a stay at one of the more rustic "motor lodges"

we traveled on to Shelborne and the fabulous museum there. We thought we might stay an hour or so and spent 6 hours and still didn't see it all.




Burlington, Vermont was neat.

Getting ready for the wedding

My daughter is getting married! A time for celebration! She and Tim have been togehter for 10 years and we knew that this time would finally come. The wedding will only be a formality because it is as though they have been married for years. The babies are on the way and it is only fitting that their mom and dad be wed before the big day of their birth. Everyone is excited.
