Temecula

None of us remember what time we went to bed.  But by noon, I joined my new family (I was adopted by Ama's the night before.  Or was it morning.  Who knows or cares?) in the lobby to go wine tasting.  Strangely enough for Puerto Ricans, they were early.  So they got to sit around waiting for everyone else to show up. 
Once we got all 18 of us together, we caravan-ed to Temecula to go wine tasting at Ponte.  Getting 18 independent minded people to move around is exactly like herding cats.

This is what happens when you show up early

Course, this happens too

Angel and Thuy's Wedding

Flew down to San Diego to witness Angel and Thuy getting hitched.  My first time with Virgin America and it was fabulous!!  Leather seats in coach and you can order your drink from the seat console.  I kinda wished that the flight was longer.
The wedding was in a gorgeous church called St. Gregory the Great.  It looked like a Frank Lloyd Wright design.  Unfortunately, the inside was so dark that the pictures did not turn out that well.  But here's what I got...

The inside of the church
















Yes Ama, I had to include this picture.  You look much more angelic later.

Amelia looking gorgeous

"We're ready!"

It's grainy and blurry but they just look so happy.  It's an emotion pic.

We'll call this one an emotion pic too.

And this is emotional too.


And now the angelic


Aren't they cute?!?


And then the shoes come off, the booze is poured, and the party starts...
