And We're Off!

We had every intention to pack our suitcases on Friday, but as predicted, Friday was filled with wedding preparations, last minute errands, and visiting with family. Monday morning we woke up at the hotel, gathered our things, and headed home to frantically pull together food for the brunch that was to start in an hour... and we still hadn't packed. Brad volunteered running out to the grocery store for bagels and cream cheese, not ideal, but I think everyone was just happy to get together one more time before we all headed off to different corners of the country.

Pete and I took turns attending the brunch and running last minute errands before finally rendezvousing in our bedroom to pack our bags... in 60 minutes or less!

Jon helped us pile our things into his car and drove us down the 5 to San Diego International Airport where we would catch a flight to San Francisco only to sit for 3 hours. We hopped out of his car, said our thanks and good byes and then headed off into the sunset err the airport terminal. No line! So we quickly checked our bags, got our boarding passes and headed to security. Once we found our gate, Pete and I settled down in a pair of comfy chairs and realized we hadn't brought any playing cards for the trip. We headed over to the gift shop and grabbed a tiny deck of cards. Now that the dress was of no concern, I had a hankerin' for a donut, so we moseyed on over to the Starbucks and got ourselves a couple coffees and ... oh, shoot, no donuts.

A couple games of Sudoku and a crossword puzzle later and we were arriving in San Francisco. We headed straight for the international terminal, checked in to see if there were any possible upgrades for honeymooners, no such luck... so we headed up the escalator to a sushi restaurant where the chef was talkative and the fish was ehh. What should we have expected... in an airport, right? We headed back down to the gate after dinner and boarded the plane soon after.

While waiting to board, Pete was worried everyone was staring at us standing in line, since we were kissin' and smoochin' and huggin' standing there all lost in each other's eyes ...too bad, after all, we were starting our honeymoon!!!!
