Vacation-Day 1

The happy couple borrowing our baby!

So Day 1 of the trip, we left early and made pretty good time; making it to Pasadena at about 3 pm. The kids did really well in the car. We had to make a few potty stops-and for some reason, in the central valley, there were tons of flies everywhere! And it was stinky! We were exhausted, but had to be at the church for the wedding rehearsal by 5 pm. It was so smokey and hot from the fires, we were smoldering in the non-air conditioned church! We then went to a lovely restaurant in downtown Pasadena for the rehearsal dinner hosted by Elliott's dad. The Italian food was great! Then we were tuckered out by the end of the day.
