Fire Hose Shot of Family
... a beach house for the extended family, so we had the ocean view and sometime to sneak off with folks for beach walks. And thanks to some nice jet lag, Jon and I caught a great sunrise.
The whole wedding was fantastic. Bride and groom are happy. Both families are party animals and dancing fiends, and it was just fun. And as my Dad called it, a good "fire hose shot of family" for us. ...
