Buttermilk Falls in Ithaca
So last weekend we drove out to Ithaca with all the junk I was planning to move to Michigan (more on that later) for the wedding of our friends Hamsa and Danika .... names more diligent readers will recognize as our card-playing-gin-drinking buddies from Delhi.
Ithaca really is GORGES (ahahaha) ... and we didn't wanted to miss out on all the fun wedding activities that were happening throughout the week so we set up camp at Treman State Park.
We love love love this tent that the Metzner's gave us (sniff, sniff) for our wedding two years ago. It held up in some serious rain and cold over our days camping in the park.
We were graciously invited to some of the pre-wedding bachelorette/bachelor day activities. The ladies had a bridal shower, a trip to Treman State Park swimming hole, group nap-yoga (seriously), dinner and dancing.
The boys spent the day playing paintball and Beersbee then later met us out for dancing. They were a little worse for wear (they all - including the groom - had some really angry looking red bruises), but seemed to have had a lot of fun.
Their ceremony was beautiful ...
And the reception was a blast!
Despite the threat from Irene the weather held out for Hamsa and Danika...
... although by the Sunday morning rain was coming down in buckets in Ithaca. I know of several people who's travel plans were disrupted by the storm. Thankfully Allen made it back to Brooklyn safely. Our building wasn't affected by the storm at all (no flooding, no loss of power).
I on the other hand headed straight to Ann Arbor from the wedding. After an 8 1/2 hour drive I made it to my new home ... but more on that in a bit.

Nikki - Ithaca is very nice. Interestingly enough Stephen and I ventured there last summer, stayed at the same campground and checked out the falls as well as we attended our friends Sofi and Paul's wedding. Very cool to see the place again! Looks like an awesome wedding!
