Washington DC Wedding

So we went to DC for Pete's brother's wedding. The funny thing is... we didn't actually make it to the wedding. We flew all day Thursday, arrived just in time for the rehearsal dinner at a great Indian food place. We ate our fill, and then got hit with the stomach flu. The next day, we were in no shape to show our faces at a formal affair. So sad. So the documentation of the wedding won't be in this post, but we did have fun the rest of the weekend.

Off we go... no children on your lap while your fly makes it a MUCH more enjoyable experience.

 The calm before the storm...

 Scott's son Lance swimming at the hotel pool.

 After we had a recovered, we went to Potbelly's for lunch. Ahhh, Ann Arbor memories!

 The crew the day after the wedding.

 We drove down to Charlottesville on Saturday to see Scott's new house. It's pretty amazing and it offers all the outdoorsy space he could ever want. So happy how life has come together for him.

 Backyard view. Not bad.

 He has recently become a falconer and has his own hawk named Fox. Fox actually brought the rings in during the wedding ceremony. Sorry to have missed that.

 Us and the happy couple. The new Mr. and Mrs. Dahlquist! He found a shorty like me:)

 Then the bonus of the trip was getting to see our best friends from law school, the Burtons. We got to meet their new baby James and have a great dinner with them. We sure miss living nearby, but glad weddings can bring us together every year:)

 We couldn't wait to get home to see our boys. We had picked out some treats for them. Austin got Mickey Mouse slippers, and Parker got this awesome pilot shirt. He is obsessed with the patches. Austin was ready for a nap in this pic... 

Fun to have time away, but coming home and being a whole family again is what it's all about!

Another shout out to my awesome parents who took care of the boys! Love you!
