Greetings from beautiful upstate New York. Here in Kinderhook, the landscape is lush green, the air is fresh, the temperature not cruelly hot, and the smell of cow dung lingers in the air.
Today Jen, her mom, and I headed to Poughkeepsie to meet with the caterer for the wedding (Chris of Christos), to check out the gorgeous Vassar campus in the summertime (we managed to get into the chapel and scope it out), and decide on location for rehearsal dinner (and snap a lot of photos that we’ll be able to use in our soon-to-be-created wedding Web site). After having lunch at Coppola’s, we decided that the Alumnae House was the obvious choice. This is what I felt all along in my heart was the right choice. It’s just such a great building with so much character. It will be far more memorable than the back room of a somewhat cheesy Italian restaurant.
Tonight it’s off to Sue and Josh’s rehearsal dinner at the Carolina House here in Kinderhook, then to their wedding tomorrow.
Jen and I are still a bit exhausted from flying all night Wednesday. We took cat naps the whole way back from Poughkeepsie.
