Wedding

My cousin Kevin got hitched at the end of July, so I packed up the kids and took them on a road trip for the event! The wedding took place just outside of Cincinnati. I know what you're thinking: that sounds far away from New Jersey. Being the smart mommy I am, I checked Mapquest for directions. Turns out that Cincinnati is just over 9 hours away from here. That is a teensy bit over my self-imposed limit of 8 hours in the car by myself with all three kids, but I decided to tough it out anyway so we could see the fam' (Phil couldn't make it because of that job of his. If only we could be independently wealthy...).

Let me just say that Mapquest should have some kind of calculator that lets you enter the number and ages of all children in your traveling party. This is important information to have when calculating how long a trip will take. I'm just sayin'.

Anyway, the wedding was absolutely lovely, my girls did a wonderful job as flower girls, and Colin helped the happy couple decide to enjoy their lives together as a couple for a few years before adding kids to the equation. Just kidding, they didn't actually tell me that, but I'm pretty sure it's true. And we had a wonderful time catching up with family that we don't get to see nearly often enough. Weddings really are a wonderful reason to get together, aren't they?
