    Got some hoity-toity ****** bags sittin at the bar having obnoxious conversation. Pics of strangers are a little weird, but you gotta see to believe (and the chick talking about all the "like"s!). I like well dressed gents, but these people are just snooty. Please stop.

    We have landed in Newark, NJ! Never been here. Slight layover before flying into Rochester.

    Man the flight over was brutal.... Small cramped space, couldn't really sleep. M did cave and we finally got those squishy neck pillows you see everyone using. They're actually pretty rad! They help maintain posture while keeping you comfy. I guess I got about 2 and a half hours of sleep, and just like that, it's a quarter to 7a on the East Coast! Who needs bedtime?

    The wedding is today at 4:30p or something. We better crash and snooze at the parent's house before then.

    Hoping I see some robins again! They're my favorites. (jk jk all birds are my favorites)

    A red-eye into Nork—lucky you!

    EWR is pretty much our home base. Hope you had a Manhattan view coming in...quite a sight.

    Took a cute little plane into ROC. Nice airport despite the overkill on building it. :) Great flight, I passed out on the way.

    Bye bye Jersey!

    Hello Rochester! I still can't get over how green it is here. Already feels better than San Diego - I'll take it!

    The airport is cute! Now waiting for our ride. I feel a little more awake than in NJ, still need to rest up for this wedding. :)

    The wedding was pretty fun!

    It was my first wedding as an adult, and even though I didn't know anyone, it was a blast. We met this cute brunette gal, and she convinced me to get out on the dance floor.
    PSX_20180810_221945.jpg

    I also had Canadian beer (something Blue Pilsner) for the first time and it was okay. Haha. Apparently that's their Budweiser haha.
    PSX_20180810_225452.jpg

    The wedding ceremony was nice and had a religious component which was very well done (says the agnostic)!

    Yep we're millenials and these married kids met at Toronto Music Festival - and he proposed to her at an EDM festival (EDC in Vegas?) so the last half of the dancing turned into a rave. It was funny because M and I were hypothesizing our wedding (in the future!) with rock and 80's instead of EDM :evillaugh::headbang:

    PSX_20180810_225237.jpg

    We had Italian dinner from the place next door, and then the floor started up for dancing!
    PSX_20180810_225419.jpg

    Had so many free drinks (like 5 or 6 including 2 beers) and it was great!

    Now we stopped at Empire Hots for a Garbage Plate - didn't get one my last trip here, M ordered it like a pro. PSX_20180810_225628.jpg

    I wanted to give you and your guy such a pinch for being so adorable, @luck.ofthe.draw.
    Realized I was being goofy and hesitated.
    Never mind me, except to say if you find this in him, he's a keeper...
    But I think you already know that.

    I think he's saying, "Bow before me and die," but Lou isn't paying attention. He's got his head in a pile of hay.

    Thanks favorite people aka @Richard Alpert and @ardee ! I think he definitely is a keeper, there were some nice shared moments last night. :)

    Lots of dancing! I'm surprised that I danced at all, but once this cute brunette got me out there, M came with us and we were a trio. It was real fun!!

    @Richard Alpert i know! It's been a very active summer, lots of travelling! :) It's been fun for sure. We are very fortunate to be able to take all this time and spend time together. Next month I go to my best friend's wedding in TX, and the end of the month we're going to Vegas for our 2 year anniversary and my belated birthday present!

    @sura83 people mentioned Nick Tahou's! Not sure if we'll get there (we fly out tomorrow at like 4:38a before a layover in Chicagoooo and have some plans tonight) but we'll see! Our garbage plate was pretty good! Fun after a long night of drinking.... Why haven't they made their way to Vegas?

    @Burnsie you're hilarious! We saw some vultures flying around and it was so neat! They were kind of cute!

    I still can't get over having doughnuts instead of cake. That's a tradition I'll be keeping! :p

    I just ran around in M's parent's backyard for over an hour. They've redone it (they've had this place for 3yrs) since we were here last Easter.... It looks great with a vegetable garden and the trees!

    I was chasing bees and this one butterfly that wouldn't sit still for a picture.
    PSX_20180811_140936.jpg

    I thought the bees looked different than what we have at home. M said they're bumblebees! They're sooo cute!

    I was following them all around, it was real fun. :)
    PSX_20180811_141859.jpg

    Then I saw hornets and wasps and they killed the vibe. Jerks.

    M's mom is growing Romaine lettuce, tomatos (Cherry and big ones), some herbs, Jalapenos (which we later ate in stuffed Jalapenos and Banana peppers).
