Anniversary Cruise to Baja Mexico!

We celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary with a 4-night cruise and family reunion, November 14-18, with Steve and Beth, Donna (Dwight's sister) and Annie, Marcia (Dwight's sister) and Calvin, and life-long friends Tom & Carmen (who were married by Dwight just two days before the cruise). We all had a wonderful time hanging out with each other (and playing a lot of Skip-Bo!), and visiting San Diego, Catalina Island, and Ensenada, Mexico.

Dwight performs wedding for life-long friends

We traveled to Oxnard, California last weekend so that Dwight could perform the wedding cermony for Tom and Carmen Kruschke on November 12. Tom was the best man at our wedding 34 years ago, and Carmen's family lived on the same street as Dwight's family in the 1950's. Dwight introduced Tom and Carmen during their high school years, and they reconnected 3 years ago after Carmen picked out Tom's email address from a distribution list we used to communicate with friends and family. The wedding was small and simple and held on Mandalay Beach, a 10 minute walk from Tom and Carmen's home, and right behind the Embassy Suites, where we had dinner following the ceremony. Tom and Carmen then honeymooned with the Blackstock family as we cruised from Los Angeles to San Diego, Catalina Island, and Baja Mexico.
