Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Robert Carter

We had a fantastic wedding weekend in San Diego for Robbie and Laura's wedding! The week prior, we were shopping for shoes for Carter and discussing Uncle Robbie's wedding, when Carter politely reminded me that "you have to say 'wedding hotel' when you say wedding." Needless to say he was VERY excited about staying in a hotel and swimming in the pool. We stayed in a fun hotel in Old Town with my parents, grandparents, brothers, Jake and Amy, three aunts & uncles and a set of cousins! I love being together with family so that was my favorite part. On Friday morning, Jake and Amy were gracious enough to watch our children as soon as they flew in so we could go to the temple with Laura for her first time. We walked around Old Town that afternoon and thankfully, Carter took a nap, because he was so exhausted for swimming twice already that day and staying up to late the night before. The rehersal dinner was at Casa Guadalaraja's in Old Town and it was some of the best Mexican food I've had in long time! They make their own tortillas and serve way too big of portions. Saturday started with a run with Jake and Amy for me and then swimming (again) with the kids. Claire was so tired she passed out in her swimming suit.
Then we got ready and headed to the temple for the wedding. Carter and Claire looked adorable in their outfits and once again we were grateful for my brothers and significant others taking care of them. Robbie and Laura looked amazing and we were so happy to be there for it. We took a few pictures after, went to eat a Jewish deli called Elijah's right by the San Diego temple and then headed to the reception. Unfortunately, we had a little scare because we did the slide show for the reception but failed to plan the intricate details on how it was going to be shown. Thankfully, after a trip to Radio Shack and very helpful brothers, dad, Laura's uncle Mark and finally the photographer we got it to work! The reception was beautiful. It was at a place called Tom Ham's Lighthouse on the SD Harbor. Carter was the star of the dance floor and thought the whole thing was great...including his Shirley Temple, that he spilled on the floor.
