Curt's cousin got married in California this past weekend.
He doesn't have many cousins and we haven't seen this family since our wedding more than eleven years ago, so it was a good opportunity to support and reconnect.
{cool view flying over southern Utah, this earth is amazing}
We flew into San Francisco, checked out the Golden Gate Bridge and Muir Woods, then drove to the Sacramento area for a family dinner put on by the bride's family.
{Curt's parents came too, which was wonderful for many reasons, but a huge one being traveling with four little kids is not easy}
Muir Woods was so amazing.
The scale of the massive redwoods is just not conveyed in pictures.
And the smell...so so good.
Totally worth braving the gnarly traffic and crowds.
And then we sat in traffic for over THREE... three! long hours to go like 95 miles.
California can keep its traffic, yuck.
Saturday morning was the wedding at the Oakland LDS Temple.
{Des was enamored with Ashley and drew her many drawings}
Wonderfully random, but I was walking along and saw my cousin, who just moved to California from Boston.
Fun coincidence.
{waiting for pictures afterwards...it was very sunshiney. Curt protected his noggin' like a pirate}
{Uncle Mark with his girls}

{Matt, Nicole, Monique, Joel, Anne, Mark, Camille, Ashley, Kristina}
{all the same plus Grandma & Grandpa Hogie}
