Surviving the Grand Opening of Trader Joe’s
I made it out alive! I went to the grand opening of Albany’s new Trader Joe’s this morning. The line was long, but nothing too bad. It was sort of like going out on Black Friday. Nothing I couldn’t handle! I ended up parking down the street at Colonie Center and walking a few blocks, which was the best idea ever, since there was no parking left at the store. At 8:00 the store opened and in we went. I just got a few things I’d been wanting, a few of my Trader Joe’s favorites! The store was getting crowded so I headed to the nearest check out counter, no…

A Perfect Beach Wedding
Saturday was the big day–The day Chris’ best friend Liam got married, the reason we were in California in the first place. They had a low-key wedding at Huntington Beach, also known as “Surf City”. It was a BEAUTIFUL ceremony and everything went off without a hitch. It was incredible. Congrats to Liam and Brittany, the bride and groom! After the ceremony, we went over to Spark Grill, right across from the Huntington Beach Pier. What a view we had! The cake was so adorable–they had Mickey and Minne cake toppers dressed as Star Wars characters. The reception was so much fun! Look at one of the featured beers on…
