Craig and Mackenzie's Wedding - Part 1

We traveled to DC to visit Eben's brother Palmer and then drove to Pittsburgh just in time for the pre-wedding night festivities for Craig and Mackenzie's wedding. It was a wonderful reunion for Eben and his friends from the Coast Guard Academy class of 1999. Almost everyone also brought their wives, many of whom I haven't seen in years and it was so great to catch up!

With: Joe, Ryan, Drew, Craig, Eben, and Matt.

 Ryan, Josh, and Eben.

 With Renee, Johanna, Lyndsey, Jill, Jamie, and Kathryn.

 With RJ, my partner in crime from DC.

 We cleaned up pretty well for a travel plaza quick change.

 Lyndsey and I have been making our plans for this weekend for a few months, and it was so great to finally see her again!

 Back to the hotel... with Ryan, Matt, Paul, RJ, Scot, and Joe.

 The next morning we met for brunch with everyone and then explored Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh definitely exceeded my expectations - it was beautiful and interesting and full of life. There are trails along all the riverbanks and it was fun to walk around and see the sights. Now I can see why my mother and father spent their grad school years here.

 RJ, Matt, Bill, Eben, and Josh.
