Deep Creek, MD

The trend of destination weddings continues. Last weekend wasn't too far - Deep Creek, MD...I suppose 3 hours doesn't constitute "destination" but since neither the bride nor groom are from there, it kind of was.  Nice little area - check out the "Lake Cam".

We stayed at WISP and had a pleasant view of the mountain side (but should they really call it a mountain???). Here are more webcams so you can track the conditions all year long. It was fine, functional. Can't think of any reason to ever return to that particular hotel.

 Unfortunately the weekend brought much colder weather than any of us had anticipated. Here's how it went:

--Pre-wedding: hmmm, seems breezy and overcast. Nah, it'll warm up.
--Wedding: man, that wind is really whipping across the lake. The bridesmaids are getting windburn... maybe my strappy sundress was a bad idea.
--Reception: that rain is really coming down. Think we can make it across the lawn (mud) in my heals without wiping out? More wine please!

Fortunately the rain subsided fairly quickly and we enjoyed smores around the fire and dancing on the floating dock.



And now the bride and groom are enjoying themselves in St. Lucia, so really, all's good. And look how lovely.

Only ONE MORE WEEK until Vienna, Austria. The occasion you ask?  One guess...
