There were a few interesting stories. The one most blog worthy was our plane ride/car ride there. On the plane we were not all able to sit together, so my mom sat by herself and met a nice young lady. She was from South Africa, had met her boyfriend on the set of a movie. He is originally from Detroit so they had spent Christmas there with his family. Then they went to Hawaii and had spent the time recently in SF while he was working on another movie. It was time for her to head back home, so she was going to Detroit to get the rest of her stuff and then would be on her way to South Africa on Sunday. Anyways, she was going to be taking a cab to her boyfriends parents house because they were out of town. She was maybe 23 or so and the thought of her taking a cab late at night to an empty house freaked out my mom. They looked on a map and it looked like the house was on the way to the hotel. So we gave her a ride. She was really nice, but it was pretty funny.
Also, my mom brought some beautiful lemons from her tree. We each had a bag. She gave them to the people at the car rental counter, the guy who checked us out of the car rental lot, the hotel clerks and even the security guard at the wedding reception. It was so cute! But very funny and so my mom. She also gave them to our family and Jenna's parents!
Here are some pics but they are not in any particular order because I did not pay attention while I was uploading.
The cop that asked us why we were on the side of a freeway after pulling out from the lookout spot. We were waiting for another car in our caravan to pull out. Grandpa & Doris pulled out as soon as the cop pulled up to talk to us, so the cop is right behind their car.
