Originally we thought there was no way we&#8217;d be able to make it since it was planned for 2 days after Damon&#8217;s due date&#8230; but then our little boy came early! When he was about 2 weeks old it suddenly occurred to us that we could probably go. Luckily the bride and groom are flexible, easy-going people who described their wedding as &#8220;emphatically family friendly,&#8221; so they didn&#8217;t seem put out by our very late RSVP.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately right before we left I got really sick (mastitis! I even got a fever!! Last time that happened was right after Riley was born. Apparently being a new mother is harder on the body then being a surgical resident. Evil, evil bacteria&#8230; I thought I was going to die). Luckily the antibiotics kicked in just in time. We flew to San Jose on Friday afternoon, rented a car, and drove to Monterray. Travelling with 2 kids is definitly more hectic then travelling with one, but we actually got through Damon&#8217;s first flight without any major hitches&#8230; definitly no meltdowns or crying fits from either kid. We tried to pack light, but of course ended up with a mountain of luggage&#8230; which made for an interesting situation when Sage went to pick up the rental leaving me with all the bags and both kids. Seemed like a good idea, until Riley announced she had to use the bathroom. She doesn&#8217;t usually give too much forewarning before she really has to go, so we made a spectacle of ourselves carting a suitcase, a big suitbag, riley&#8217;s car seat bag and the stroller all the way down to the other end of the baggage claim and up the elevator (of course the close restroom was under construction). Riley was very helpful though, and we made it in time, and it made for a good story when Sage got there with the car.<\/p>\n<p>Friday night there was a dinner at the Asilomar conference center. We ended up seeing more friends then we were expecting, and it was of course great to see Jason and Joanna (who amazingly seemed relaxed and happy). There was also a ton of kids there, so Riley had a great time too. There was music playing, but no one dancing, but that didn&#8217;t stop our little dancing fiend&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" width=360 height=480 src=\"http:\/\/cam.fuggernut.com\/20090726%20monterey,%20jason%20joanna%20wedding\/.small\/P1020509.JPG\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" width=360 height=480 src=\"http:\/\/cam.fuggernut.com\/20090726%20monterey,%20jason%20joanna%20wedding\/.small\/P1020533.JPG\"><br \/>\n[Milk in a wine glass, fancy fancy! ]<\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/media.dreamhost.com\/ufo.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"P1020536.MOV.flv\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/go\/getflashplayer\">Get the Flash Player<\/a> to see this player.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  var FOO = { \n\tmovie:\"https:\/\/media.dreamhost.com\/mediaplayer.swf\",\n\twidth:\"426\",height:\"340\",majorversion:\"7\",build:\"0\",bgcolor:\"#ffffff\",\n\tflashvars:\"file=http:\/\/cam.fuggernut.com\/20090726%20monterey,%20jason%20joanna%20wedding\/.medium\/P1020536.MOV.flv&showdigits=true&autostart=false\" \n  };\n  UFO.create(FOO,\"P1020536.MOV.flv\");\n<\/script><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Saturday we went to the aquarium with Michael\/Jewelin\/Ciera and Dallas\/Vida\/Maddox&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><center><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/media.dreamhost.com\/ufo.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"P1020570.MOV.flv\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/go\/getflashplayer\">Get the Flash Player<\/a> to see this player.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n  var FOO = { \n\tmovie:\"https:\/\/media.dreamhost.com\/mediaplayer.swf\",\n\twidth:\"480\",height:\"290\",majorversion:\"7\",build:\"0\",bgcolor:\"#ffffff\",\n\tflashvars:\"file=http:\/\/cam.fuggernut.com\/20090726%20monterey,%20jason%20joanna%20wedding\/.medium\/P1020570.MOV.flv&showdigits=true&autostart=false\" \n  };\n  UFO.create(FOO,\"P1020570.MOV.flv\");<\/script><\/center><\/p>\n<p>(I actually missed the jellyfish because I was feeding Damon, but the pictures and videos look pretty cool)<\/p>\n<p>The wedding was Saturday night, conveniently at the hotel we were staying at.
