July 2011, Part 2

The next two entries are not about Coop and Hudson, except to mention that we left them at home with Tobi's mom, for our first trip away from the boys. We traveled to San Francisco for the wedding of our friend Chris to his wonderful bride Alyson.
I tried to include typical SanFran touristy pics, or good pictures of Tobi and I, or of friends, but tried to stay away from pictures of the ceremony as much as I could to respect the wishes of Chris and Alyson. Enjoy!

O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America!
Healthy skepticism about the amount of wine being consumed?
