Trip to Jersey

So I was hoping to post this last week when Frank and I returned home from our visit to Jersey. However, life got in the way and since I post every other week for 'Baby BOG', I figured I could wait until then...

One of Frank's groomsmen, Mark, celebrated his marriage to Jennifer on Sunday, September 25. The forecast was not looking great for the weekend, but they got lucky and the rain held out... all day! The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was fun... the food was great also, the best part... dessert was a buffet of sweets!

Here are a few photos of the newly weds:








Frank and I got to Jersey on Saturday afternoon and planned to meet up with his friends to celebrate his best friends (Lou) birthday... at least that is what he told me! So we get to his house... and to my surprise, his wife (Michelle) set up a baby shower for us! I was definitely shocked and probably didn't seem too excited... but I honestly was Michelle! She made a bundle of yummy snack foods and cupcakes (my favorite) and had the cutest lollipops for party favors. Here some photos of the gifts for Baby BOG:








This was not a gift, something we found at the mall and we had to get it!!


Other than the celebration of Baby BOG and Mark and Jennifer's wedding, there was not a whole lot planned. The trip was short but we managed to do a little relaxing while we there well. OH! Did I mention the ride... to Jersey was great... it took about an extra hour with a few additional stops for the restroom and walk breaks but good overall. Back to Charlotte... not so great! We were stopped by traffic and then we had to make a few extra long stops because I felt so swollen and needed to walk longer. That was a long day... but we still managed to get home and have the evening to relax and get to bed early.

I am a little sad that it is going to be a while before we can get back up there... I always enjoy escaping to Jersey for what seems like a mini-vacation... but a few of the family members and the frien are already talking about making trips to Charlotte. That will definitely be a nice change!
