wedding weekend day two

Woke up that morning to gorgeous sunshine. There was a balcony/veranda on the second floor of the hotel, where our room was located, and we sat our there for a little while, looking at the sun gleaming on the lake across the road.

Then we walked down the hill to the diner called Johhny D's for breakfast. The food was good. Eric called while we were there, and it sounded like he wanted us to drop in for a visit that morning, so we agreed to head out to his house after we ate and ran a couple of errands (including getting a wedding gift, though we did not tell him that).

Eric and Christy live out in the country in a nice house on a lot of land, which is great for the kids and the dog! It is really windy, though, and that apparently causes problems on occasion, to the point where their giant trampoline once tried to blow away. They live near this great paved bike/walking trail that goes for miles through the rolling countryside.

We had a nice visit, but then I had to go back to the hotel for a nap.

While very glad I could go to the wedding for the weekend - something I could probably not have done over the past few months due to sickness and exhaustion up to the point where I could start taking the synthroid - last weekend also showed me how very far I still have to go before I feel well and normal again. I needed a lot of naps to get through everything...

In the evening we drove to Eric's pretty little home town called Montgomery for the rehearsal dinner. It was at a nice Italian restaurant called Pazzo. The food was good, as was the company. Eric and Christy were a delightful and laid back wedding couple - and the events of the weekend were also delightful and laid back. After dinner we all sat out on the porch of the restaurant and took pictures and relaxed.
