Hey Hon - How 'bout before we do that Red Eye flight across the continent, we stop first in Vegas and Paris??

As we were calmly preparing for our eastbound airplane trip from San Diego to Orlando BOY DID WE GET SOME NEWS .... It seems that Jessica and Gary were going to go to Las Vegas in a few days to TIE THE KNOT!! We had tixs to fly out of San Diego on a Red Eye Sunday night - and they planned a 730pm Saturday Night Elvis style wedding!! We were ecstatic to be among the few privlidged to be able to attend on such short notice. The wedding featured a ride in a antique pink Cadillac (owned by Lucille Ball), chauffered by the King himself, which actually delivers the bride right into the chappel!!! Gary wore his heritage to the event ( his Scottish kilt), while Jess had an astonishing Victoria Secrets -like dress.....



Elvis does the entire deal - he sings, dances, and is the justice of the peace .... Just look at that beaming smile on the new bride!!!! The chappel actually fills with fog during the ceremony ...... you can see more pix of the wedding at this link : http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/thumbpage.aspx?e=3368212 (copy - paste to url and then click 'CONTINUE' button - do not need to log in)




While in Vegas, Jessica and Gary decided that we should all go to Paris ! The Paris hotel, that is - to have the wedding dinner at the Eiffel Tower restaurant. Quite the exquisite culinary experience, with a spectacular view of Vegas!!



On a pleasant afternoon, Bill cruises the bay of San Diego bordering the Chula Vista campground we currently call home. Out upon these waters, he checked out an abandoned houseboat ... ehh , actually a 'housebrothel' which used to recently be in the babe for hire business. Must have been quite the unique tourist trap.....




Perhaps one of the most anticipated stops of our rv adventure .... a visit back to the Orlando house we purchased to see daughter Caylan !!! It had been almost a year since we saw her last ..... she took us to see the Blue Man Group - who she works with- at Universal Studios. Very entertaining night, preceded by a special dinner at Emeril's for celebration of Caylan's 21st b-day.



While in Florida, stopped by Mom and Dad's in West Palm to celebrate Dad's birthday..They were thrilled not only about Jessica's marriage to Gary, but also because the date they chose - Dec 8th - to get married, is the same day Mom and Dad met 50 years prior!! Lets hear it for the happy couples !!!!
