Another world…

Reeves and I are right now staying at the Ahwahnee hotel in Yosemite valley for a vacation with his parents which were in town for the wedding of Nancy (Reeves Cousin) and Chuck, which took place in Sausalito on September 4, 2005. We are here from Monday evening to Friday morning enjoying the beautiful hikes and yummy food of the Ahwahnee hotel and the Yosemite Lodge’s Mountain Room.

The wedding was beautiful – the ceremony was in the quaint Presbyterian Church across the street from the Alta Mira hotel where the reception and dinner were held (and we were staying).  The previous night, Saturday, we went their rehearsal dinner in Tiburon at Sam’s Anchor club - a fun, all be it rowdy façade to the back dinning room.  Many of Reeves’ family were there and it was fun to catch up with them.  Some of them we had not seen since our wedding 10 years previously.

Speaking of our anniversary – we celebrated our 10^th wedding anniversary on September 2, 2005.  We had a lovely day and enjoyed the company of Reeves’ parents and Cousins Kathy, Charlie and his wife Laurie at dinner that evening at the Boulevard restaurant in San Francisco.  We stayed the evening at the Palace Hotel and woke to a lovely morning and yummy buffet breakfast at their famed dinning room. 

We are still here at the Ahwahnee for 3 more days and I have to say I am not ready to return to the realities and responsibilities of real life till then.
