Up, Up and Away
Saturday morning found us on our way to the airport. Soon after boarding the plane, we were flying over the Great Salt Lake. On we went through Nevada and over Lake Tahoe where the smoke from the surrounding fires hung over the mountains. It was easy to see Birdsong has been suffering with the poor air quality.
Before long we were over California and the San Francisco Bay while on approach to the Oakland airport.
We had a wonderful time at the wedding of Smith's niece, Rahel and her partner, Caroline. There are few things in life as awe inspiring as two people who are in love and who are totally committed to each other. The wedding could not have been more fun or more perfect.
Before we knew it we are on our way back, flying over hill and dale, over the Great Salt Lake and landing back at home. It was a quick, enjoyable and fabulous trip.
O is for On (an airplane) and Over (Nevada) the only way to travel to Oakland.
What a wonderful picture of the two together! The cake looks mighty yummy too!

My favorite part about flying is seeing the clouds from above.

O ho! Excellent O. Congrats to the newlyweds!

Of course immediately on hitting post I realized that that might be misconstrued... that's O ho! as in a Shakespearean exclamation, not as in Mr. Robinson's neighborhood.

I saw the pictures last night and was so touched by the obvious love between them!!

What a lovely post. I agree, with all the violence and hatred out there, two people in love should be able to do whatever the hell they want.

I've really grown to appreciate weddings for just that happy reason. I think I used to take happy occasions for granted, but not anymore.
Posted by: claudia | July 31, 2008 at 02:09 PM
They look so happy. Did you bring us cake?
Posted by: Cookie | July 31, 2008 at 02:28 PM

A clever way to cover "O"... I have been happy to hear of so much wedding news here in our glorious state the past several weeks; now, if our budget could only be so rosy.

Yes, congratulations to the newlyweds! Much happiness, laughter and love.
