The wedding of my cousin Julie to Craig was just great. It was a perfect balance of elegance and just having a great time. Had a great time reconnecting with some of Julie's friends there in Seattle and also was glad I was able to hang out with my friends Eric and Duane Thursday night and Sunday night. Flight home was uneventful except for the storms in RDU by the time we arrived. We were in a holding pattern for about 30 minutes before we were able to finally land.

I took quite a few pictures, but only kept about 20% of them. I uploaded them to Flickr in their own set, so feel free to browse them there. I really need to start using this good camera on a regular basis so I don't forget how to use some of the more advanced features.

I'm taking the next few days off and so glad I did. I hate using vacation time to be home, but the number of things that needs to get done is ridiculous as I take off for Boston on Friday and then back to work on Monday.

Expect a few more posts to come out the next 2 days while I sort things out with my time at home. I just don't want to put a million things into just 1 post.
