A wedding, naked people, and miniature golf

This weekend was a busy one. I've started to notice that every weekend is busy now. I guess that's a good thing because it gets us out of the house, but sometimes you just want to lounge around and watch movies that you've already seen 100 times on TBS or TNT. I've been wanting to go hiking since the first weekend the temperature was above 65°, but there just doesn't seem to be any time for that right now.

On Saturday, we went with Bethany's family to their cousin Emily's wedding. It was held at the Golf Club at Newcastle which is very nice. I didn't even know it was there and I often drive by the area everyday. There were some great views of Seattle, Bellevue, and Lake Washington, but it was a little smoggy out that day. The ceremony was held in a tent outside and the dinner was held in a banquet room inside the club. It was also the first time we've seen Beth since she's moved back from Hong Kong. Overall, a pretty wedding. Here are some pictures (courtesy of Nick and myself).

After the wedding, we went home to change and headed to the Fremont Fair. The Fremont Fair is what I like to describe as the liberal hippie's fair. It's a very weird fair in which the Summer Solstice is celebrated, as well as the Fremont community. The Fremont Solstice Parade is unique in that most of the participants are naked or painted in the nude. We thankfully missed that part due to the wedding. Still, there were a lot of arts and crafts to see. Lots of stuff made out of hemp of course. Lots of Obama merchandise. Lots of organic food/drink samples. Lots of nekkid people around nudist booths. I felt like I was behind enemy lines there. Still, it's a fun atmosphere and something to do in Seattle. Here are a few pictures:

We went to Wallingford Pizza House for dinner after the fair. I had a pepperoni dome pizza which I had never tried before. It was good.

Yesterday, we decided to celebrate Father's Day because we were flying back from D.C. last Sunday. This is my first Father's Day. I still can't believe that I'm a daddy. We went miniature golfing at the Family Fun Center in Tukwila. I am happy to say that I won with a score of 39, having never hit a bogey or over. Everyone that played did really good though. For dinner, we had everyone over at our house for a BBQ. We grilled some hamburgers and marinated chicken for everyone. A good late Father's Day.

I hope your weekend was as good as mine.
