Return to San Diego

October 24, 2011

My trip home was actually a bonus tacked on to my annual trip to San Diego. I went later this year because my summer was a little too busy, but as always, it was a blast. I started off with dinner in Little Italy with Jeannine (mommy’s night out!) because she had to work over the weekend. Alma, Dale and I had lunch in Carlsbad on Friday, just us girls. And then we got the rest of the crew together for brunch at one of our favorite spots in downtown La Jolla, Whisk & Ladle. Afterwards, we strolled along La Jolla Cove, spotted some wildlife, and caught up on life. One of the highlights of the weekend was meeting Jerry’s lovely fiance, Sylvie. Looks like I’ll be back in SD next spring for their wedding!

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Elefterion

October 12, 2011

A week after our trip to Memphis, Nicki and Jeff got married at Bobo, in the West Village. It was muggy and hot that morning, but luckily the rain held off until after the ceremony and photographs. A wonderful celebration of a wonderful couple!
