Bachelor Party!

Last July, a group of super pals threw me bachelor party near Granby, Colorado, high in the Rocky Mountains.  The choice of location was a little random.  But it is a beautiful place and conveniently located about half way between Pike County and California.  The guys went all out, and I had a fabulous time.  It was just one weekend but we packed in a lot of activities, which, in retrospect, were largely wholesome in nature.

Here's the sweet cabin we stayed in right on Lake Granby.  The cabin was about 8000 ft. above sea level, but only 5-10 ft. above Lake Granby level!

We hiked the Rocky Mountain National Park.  We pretty much covered the whole thing!  Most of us took it easy and stayed on the trail.





Later, we bathed in the rejuvenating waters of the natural hot springs at Hot Sulphur Springs, CO.  Check out Eric and I displaying the redonkulous beauty of our upper torsos!





After that, we hammered some fish!

We also did some pontoon boating on the lake (not pictured) and mingled with locals at the tavern where Chris performed an impromptu sketching to commemorate the event.

Thanks for the awesome time guys!



Wedding

I do look back fondly on that day we went to apply for our wedding license. It was quite a magical day.
We also had a wedding and some guy took a bunch of pictures. I haven't really gone through them yet, but here are a couple from the beginning of the DVD we burned.
We had a great time, thanks to all the friends and family that came out to support us!

Back to Blogging!!!

We got married about a year ago.  Actually, exactly a year ago sunday, so we decided to take a honeymoon hiatus from blogging.  Now we're back!
Here's a couple pre-wedding photos of Ms. Emily getting our marriage license at the San Mateo county courthouse in beautiful Redwood City.  We were pleasantly surprised to find that fictitious business names were also available there.
