We went to a wedding on the Jersey shore today. I drove in Manhattan and tackled the Lincoln Tunnel for the first time. It was freakishly narrow, but I survived. Then we sat in traffic on the Garden State Parkway (so called because it's a parking lot - get it?) We were 15 minutes late for the wedding, but it didn't matter because the bride didn't walk down the aisle till 11:22.
There was a Wizard of Oz theme at the tables. We got The Yellow Brick Road. My college roommate's husband was there, though my roommate didn't come. The food was interesting - a brunch buffet. So the offerings included French toast and herbed red potatoes, which E loved. It was his first wedding and he handled it like a champion. At one point, I noticed he was practically falling off my lap with fatigue, so I bundled him into the stroller and we walked along the beach behind the building. The sun beat down on us and the boardwalk thumped beneath the wheels, but E didn't seem to notice. He was conked out for a solid hour.
I liked the adventure and change in routine of going to the wedding. Next weekend I am going to Providence for the traditional post-weaning trip. And after that, my mother is coming.

Speaking of weird, is it weird that I'm putting more effort into planning my 10-year anniversary party than I did for my wedding? I'm thinking of doing a movie theme (as in, lots of movies).
By the way, which stroller did you take with you?
well done!
