Connecticut Trip

Joey and I left early Thursday morning for Connecticut for Joey's cousin, David's, wedding.  By early - I mean our flight left at 6:15, we had to be at the airport by 5:30, had to drop our car off Suzy's house at 5:15, had to leave our house at 4:45, had to wake up at 4:15 - YIKES!  I think we both did well though.  As our plane was flying in to Hartford, I was taken aback by the beauty of the trees there.  Joey didn't really see any difference, but the colors there are just so much more vivid than down south.  It was breathtaking, and I definitely want to do a drive through New England one fall to get to experience more of it!  We took a walk on Thursday to experience some of the scenery, and here are a few pictures from that.

On Friday, we woke up and Joey, Uncle Dom, Mr. Joe, and myself went to a shooting range.  A little back story here - Aunt Lucy got Uncle Dom two machine guns for Valentine's Day, and Uncle Dom couldn't wait for us to get there so him and Joey could go shoot them.  Little did he know that I would be interested in going too, and I have to say, I got more pins down than Joey.

After we shot a couple of his guns, we went to the pond in his hunting club and there were even more beautiful views.

The wedding was beautiful, and we had a great time at the reception.  It was definitely different than how we do it down south, but we had a blast!

So David took a dive under Christy's gown when he was supposed to be getting the garter and pulled out a huge pair of granny panties and some cobwebs ... everyone got a kick out of that.

On our last day there, we went to visit Alex, Nora, and Janna.  Janna is Joey's cousin and Alex is Joey's godson.  They were at Disney World the week before, so our only chance to see them was on our last day.  I had so much fun playing dress up with Nora.

Joey and I had such a great time in Connecticut and are really looking forward to being back in June for Megan's wedding.  She will be getting married in Mt. Snow, Vermont, so I'll be able to mark another state off my list!
