Retro Post #2

On Labor Day weekend of 2007 Kurt and I along with my parents (and my aunt Kate and Gramma Gelhaus for part of the trip) went to San Francisco and Sonoma to vacation and celebrate my cousin Marla's wedding. It was quite a trip. Especially if you ask Kurt- you go for 5 days with your in-laws as newly weds and share a hotel room, rental car and every waking hour and see what you think, he might say.

While in San Fran we hit the Pier and saw the sea lions (which I hear are not around these days). Here are Dad, Kurt and Kate checking out the view.

We all thought it sounded like they were saying Kurt's name. "Kurt, Kurt, Kurt Kurt!"

Riding the trolleys- Dad, Mom, me and Kurt

On the square, the newly weds, love is in the air!

Hitting the wine country on our way to the rehearsal dinner (that was FANTASTIC and out of a storybook). We really enjoyed the tasting. I had just 2 months earlier found out we were expecting Kate. But the sips were small!

The wedding was outdoors looking over the Sonoma scenery. It was a beautiful day! And it was a chance that we all too infrequently have to enjoy extended Harris family. I was able to enjoy my aunt and uncles and a few cousins to boot! And we welcomed Jason Greenberg to our family.

Girl cousins at Marla's wedding- Anita, Marla and me.

Me, Anita and Mom enjoyed the live band and dancing!

So did Anna, Anita's daughter as seen here with Patrick aka her Dad.

The only really "scary" part of the trip was on our departing day as we headed to breakfast in the city. Kurt was a wee bit nervous of the route Mom picked to the restaurant. The street people were encroaching on our space a bit and it was kind of a seedy neighborhood. He went home with a story. And because of it he is not so sure about me wanting to take a trip to New York City eventually. :-)
