The Last Open House

It was time to hit the road AGAIN.  For homebodies, we sure were leaving a lot!
We headed to Sacramento. I loved his antenna ball!
Up to the lake and down into California. . .
to hop on a plane!  My assigned seat was the very back corner.  I would not recommend it, if you have any choice at all.

Napping, reading and snacking helped pass the time . . .

We arrived in Dayton around midnight.  The newlyweds barely beat us, after having traveling adventures including getting bumped from their flight (and collecting travel vouchers to make amends.)

We stayed with Samuel’s family which was handy since it was the site of the open house.
A b.e.a.u.tiful cake!

The tables looked GREAT. . .


The buffet table was decorated along with the stairs and surrounding area. . .

They helped Jennifer get ready. . 

and had lots of favors to take home. .





We were grateful to be able to attend and get to know Samuel’s family better.  They were fun to be around
But we had to get home. . .

had a layover in Chicago. ..


and amused myself on the plane with random things. . .

and headed back up the lake and back down the mountain.


It was a nice event but made for a very long weekend (less than 1 1/2 days in Ohio).  It was a fun end to all the celebrating. . .
