A Fox Family Wedding



Last weekend, Joe and I went with my family (minus the kids) out east for a wedding in Annapolis. We had an amazing time, despite the fact thatthe weatherin MD was colder than the weather here. Who would havethought that would happen the first weekend in October.

It was our cousin's wedding. Well, Brittany is not technically my cousin, but we call each other cousins. Our dad's were best friends growing upand our families have remained close eversince. Brittany comes to MN to visit family about once a year. We always make sure to have a Knutson/Fox family get together. Ourfamily has gone to MD to visit Brittany and her family. Most recently, Brittany and her now husband (!) are living in Las Vegas. Jamie and I have been out there a couple times and just were out there for Brittany's bachelorette party at the end of July. When we found out the date of the wedding, we were all excited for a mini-vacation.

I was more than ready to get on a plane after a crazy couple of weeks of school. It was a lot of work getting things ready for a sub for 1 1/2 days. The one thing I was looking forward to was catching up on some sleep. I definitely did!

While we were in Annapolis we were able to spend time at the Fox house for a bonfire the night we got into town. We went to a bridesmaid's brunch in the marina and shopped in downtown Annapolis. We ate dinner at a crab house. No crab for me, but most of my family was very excited for that meal. We haddrinks at this great bar/restaurant. The downtown of Annapolis has all these historic brick buildings with amazing architecture. The wedding was at a historical botanical garden in a town close to Annapolis. Most of all, we were ableto spend time as a family, and spend time with Brittany, her family, and their extended family.

Here are a few highlights of the trip!
