Second honeymoon already?

Well, not quite, but close. We're heading back down to Massanutten this weekend (where we spent the second half of our honeymoon).

This time it's with family, the McConnell side, but it's still a weekend at a resort! Maybe this time we'll actually be able to enjoy the activities they provide, like a huge indoor water park!

It Happened!

As my sisters, D & SR, have testified, we did get married! The wedding went wonderfully, thanks to the generous help of numerous family members and friends!

We have some pictures from family and friends already. We are expecting the digital photos from the photographer very soon.

If you have pictures that you want to share with us or if you would like to receive an e-mail notification when we have digital photos to share, drop us a line at jmcg.wedding@gmail.com.

This is our first days back at work since before the wedding. We had a great time in Las Vegas and got to relax at a resort in the Shenandoah valley.

Hopefully we'll get more details about the wedding and photos posted soon!

From the 1,000 Places to See Before You Die Calendar:

Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent in the ideas of living. --Miriam Beard

From the "1,000 Places to See Before You Die Calendar"

The Las Vegas Strip
Where Megawatt Crass Marries Nouveau Class
Nevada, U.S.A.

The 3 1/2 mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard known as the Strip is the world capital of glitter, festooned with pleasure palaces, quick-hitch wedding chapels, and cheap, all-you-can-eat prime rib buffets--and, of course, it's alive with gambling, anytime, any kind, and everywhere. This is where Bugsy Siegel laid down the law and the Rat Pack laid down the style; where Howard Hughes hid out and where Elvis made his last stand; but, maybe sadly, maybe not, all that is changing. In an attempt to promote itself as a cultural and haute dining destination, Vegas is hell-bent on attaining bourgeois respectability, trading in its seedy Sin City image in favor of a luxury future that's more about indulgence than naughtiness. That said, visitors will still find their fill of female impersonators and splashy dinner shows galore.

Tuesday, August 29, I responded to a radio ad on a whim. Now we are booked for a stay in Las Vegas immediately after the new year.
