Wedding Season Opens

This weekend was a busy one. Friday I drove up to South Lake Tahoe for Adams bachelor party. I got there about 7 and it felt great to be up in the mountains. Keith, Adams brother had rented this kick ass house right by Heavenly Ski resort. It was 3 stories, two decks, a hot tub on the top deck, pool table, and a unreal view of the lake. All the boys trickled in and we partied till about 11 pm, when we decided to hit the casinos. There was a huge celebrity golf event in South Lake so the place was packed. We ended up seeing Charles Barclay and Marcus Allen. The night consisted of gambling, gambling and more gambling with a side of white Russians for Adam. That kid can put em down. Adam had an awesome shirt on that I think really sums it up. I've never really gambled that much but Keith and Adam where playing black jack so I decided to play. They helped me out and I had a blast. I lost about $80 after an hour but made about $40 back playing poker. By 3:30 am Adam and the boys were deep into a game of craps. Having no clue about the rules I found myself in the 24 Diner helping myself to the $7.99 Prime rib sandwich and coffee, best 8 bucks I spent all weekend. By 4 am I hitched a cab back to the cabin and the party continued. Eventually the sky started to get light and I found myself trying to remember the last time I watched the sunrise without going to bed...I believe has been about 6 years.
Saturday morning we picked up the pieces and I hit the road by 10 am. Jodi and I had Julie Boner and Cameron Watts wedding to go to at the Hayes mansion in San Jose. I made it home by 2 and due to shopping reasons we barely made the wedding. The whole event was awesome. Jodi got to see a lot of her old sorority sisters, many whom are pregnant. It was almost like a Cal Poly college reunion. We stayed the night there and headed home this morning.
Today I got fitted for my tux for Kacies wedding and stopped by Mike's house to grab a tow strap and chain to pull out the juniper bushes in my front yard. The stumps came out pretty easy but if I didn't have 4 wheel drive it would have been a different story. Those roots are damn tough, obviously not Toyota tough.
