So my family and I meaning mom, and randy and me took a little trip down to California this last weekend and boy was it a trip. Our trip consited of 17hrs down to San Farnsico and who knows how long back but a whole lot longer.
The reason for our little family adventure was that my cousin

Fawyna was finally getting married to her long term boyfriend of 5years Alberto, who i already considered family, but now is offically my new cousin. Pretty cool I think.
There wedding was really beautiful, they got married in a little chapel called, "The Chapel of our Lady", in the old militry base called the Persidio.
But I am getting ahead of myself here. The road trip started out around 9:30 pm on Thursday night and ended at 5:30am on Monday Morning, so Today.
We drove stright through to San Fransico, stopping every few hours for potty breaks and for gas, and to stretch our legs. Mom and I would have been fine just stopping for gas and every once in while for the bathroom, but Randy has really long legs, hence him being about 6'5", and he doesn't do well in the car for long periods of time either, so it took long time getting down there. And then we had to stop and look at the view point for Mt. Shasta. Very pretty view. But it had taken us all night to get into California and I was really tired that didn't want my picture taken but Randy got one, while i was leaning on Mom oh well. And there was this pretty cool old farm house that we got a picture of as well.
When we finally got into San Fransico, we got lost trying to find our hotel, and we came across and interseting shop called "Out of the Closet" with male manicines in the window display wearing women's swim suits, and dresses. Needless to say my mom and randy and i got the gigles, just because we were not expecting a store like that as we drove down the street looking for our hotel. So at last we found our hotel, and it wasn't very good, but it worked out for us.
The hotel was right across the Parking Lot were my cousins rehersal dinner was at so she invited us to come. It was as this Japaness Resturant, that was mainly a more athentic sushi bar. But not everything was rare fish. (it is just something about rare fish, eating it isnot for me, I guess it is because I always think of Lord of the Rings when Golum says "Give it to us raw and wriggling.") Anyway, the food was wonderful I had ordered vegtable Tempura, oh so good, but the funny sad thing was, the survice was really bad, I mean there were about 21 people there and about 8 people Randy and myself inclued were forgotten about by the waiters, so we didn't get our meal until everyone else was done with thiers.
So the next day was Saturday, the day of my cousin's wedding, and well we sleep in until 1:30 in the afternoon, and Fawnya and Alberto were to get married around 4-4:30ish so you can guess that we were running a little late, but not really cause we were only about 5 blocks from the Persudio which was great. For us, cause we couldn't get that lost.
Then we went across the Golden Gate Bridge to the reception. There was dancing and a full dinner meal, it was great. Basically a big old party going on at the bay in the top part of a resturant. My aunt was have a blast dancing away, I think it was a good time for my family, I know I had fun.
So On Sunday we pack up the car and check out of our hotel about 10:45 which was good cause it was bad room, my mom had some thing to say about it. But that is besides the point.
We ended up stopping at In-and-Out Burger, and I am sorry to say but I don't get the big thing about it, beside every thing is fresh, and pretty descent for the prize you pay, the food was good, but not as good as it had been discribed by all my California Friends. But I did find that the atmospher was pretty cool, just watching all the workers being very busy and yet working really well together, that was impressive.
So we final were able to get home around 5:30 monday morning. And slept.
That was my big Weekend...
Hopefully the next time I go to California, I will see different things and don't sleep the whole way through it either.
