Dateline June 16, 2012, James and Mary's Wedding in Gettysburg

Back in the Roadtrek after two weeks home. The garage project is underway in the old carport, the foundation blocks set. First stop, Gettysburg, where our son James married Mary Albin under a beautiful summer sky. Rehearsal dinner at Appalachian Brewing Company. The toast, naming the five women in James's life, from sister Kieran through to Mary. The Wilson family sword from 1944, used to cut every wedding cake since Jack and Grammy. A garden wedding in Hanover. Mary becomes Mary Wilson. Eastern Canada is next.

Dateline April 11, 2011, Clay's Wedding and the Big Island

The whole reason for the Hawaii trip: our nephew Clay Trauernicht's wedding to Talia, on the North Shore of Oahu. Then a week on the Big Island with the Wilson clan, Akaka Falls, kayaking out to the Captain Cook Monument in Kealakekua Bay, and snorkeling among more colorful fish than we knew the ocean held. And the news at the end that turned the page on the rest of the year: we had sold the house in Florida.
