Last weekend, we all headed up to Santa Barbara for my cousin Ben's wedding. We all drove up Saturday and Josh came into town on Sunday morning after he got off shift. We had a great time, amazing weather, and cannot wait to go back again. Beware of picture overload below, there is a lot. On Saturday we went to the rehearsal lunch, my mom, me, and Maryann hit up State Street for some shopping, and then ended the day with dinner and beers at the Santa Barbara Brewery and Co. They had delicious food and a really fun atmosphere. Pictured below:
Sunday was the wedding. It started at 11:30 so we all knew we were in for a long day, especially when the cocktail hour started at noon. This interesting van was parked in the parking lot. The guys said he has been collecting things and placing them on the van since 1994. Crazy!
Since we were a little bit earlier we opted for a brief family photo shoot. Again pictured below:
Waiting and waiting for the wedding to start. They were having some technical difficulties with the sound and the wedding planner was crazy. If any of you have seen Beerfest, she looked and sounded exactly like the grandma. It was the joke of the day.

Right next to the park where they got married was this carousal. Josh bought us girls a ticket to ride.
Then behind the carousal was a pretty little pond that has this cute creatures sun bathing on a rock.
Us taking advantage of the pretty little pond as background.
Behind my mom and dad's hotel room was this HUGE, and I mean HUGE oak tree. Its really hard to tell in the picture how big it really is but if you look at the lawn chairs at the bottom it kind of gives you an idea.
My parents and us decided to stay an extra day and roam around Santa Barbara. The weather was perfect and we had a blast. I did not want to come home.
This little guy was hilarious. I don't know if he smelled bait in one of the boats but he would sniff each one out and try to get in a couple.
It was a great weekend and I think it was what everyone needed. But now its back to reality, with work and responsibilities calling our names.
