It started on Thursday when I flew out of Cincinnati into Houston, Texas. My daughter and her husband arrived there from Tampa about 30 minutes before me. We left from there to pick up the rental car. There were a few glitches in that process but it all worked out in the end and we had a really nice ride for the weekend. And even better than that, I didn't have to drive any at all. I just sat in the back relaxed and visiting and didn't have to worry about a thing. I could get used to that really quickly. lol
We had a super nice Airbnb Rental House. You could see the ocean from the north side of our deck. Every morning I went out here and sat for a short time. As you can see it's straight in the path of the sun and it could get really hot really quickly, but early as I went it wasn't bad and I totally enjoyed it.

The Rehearsal and Dinner were Friday evening and it was so nice to actually see the wedding venue. It really was beautiful and totally fit my daughter's style. I think she was in 7th heaven. Below are some pictures of the rehearsal.

So these are about the only pictures I took that came out okay. I can't wait to see the photographer's photos. Suffice it to say, it was a beautiful wedding and the bride and groom are now married happily ever after.

ReplyDeleteAmong my least favorite things is dealing with rental car sales people, but I'm glad it all worked out. And you didn't have to do the driving! Yay.
So glad you had a wonderful time...and a safe trip. And how nice to be treated like a queen all weekend!:) Congratulations to the pretty bride!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad all the travel went okay and congratulations to your family!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter made a beautiful bride!! Looks like a gorgeous day for the rehearsal and the wedding! I hope you can share some of the professional photos when you get them!! It is so great that you got to be there! Rest!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a wonderful time and that you were treated like a queen! I know you enjoyed every second. I hate that your husband couldn't go! I am sure everyone missed him and that he hated not being there. I am always like you when I return from a trip- the next day I like to stay home and catch up on sleep/house things. Congratulations on the new son-in-law!
