"Get Lucky in Kentucky"

Who knew?! Apparently if you are going to get married because of pregnancy, shooting shotguns at the gun range is the thing to do for your bachelor or bachelorette party in Kentucky. Stay classy Kentucky.

At least to say, this ad made me speechless. This ad was published on the back cover of a free weekly paper in Louisville, KY...

「（出来ちゃった結婚で）独身最後のお祝い（バチェロラパーティー）を銃の打ちっぱなし場で」。地元の情報誌に記載されていた広告。レッドネックもいいところ…　田舎すぎて怖い!!!!

wedding in virginia beach [trip 2]

16日は大学時代の友達の結婚式のためバージニアビーチへ。幸せそうな二人でした。お幸せに〜

余談ですが、今回の旅行はビージェイが出張だったためバラバラにバージニア到着。おまけに両親も同日に旅行先から到着。義理姉夫妻も用事があったために、ビージェイの親友が空港に迎えにきてくれくたよ〜　その後はみんなが帰宅するまで甥っ子の子守り。妙なバージニアでの初日だったわ…

The third weekend, we went to Virginia for Hank & Sarah's wedding in VA Beach. We have know them since the college... It was such a cute wedding!

Because Beejay was out of town for a conference, we got to VA separate. Also my parents were coming back late that Friday. Beejay's sister and her husband had to go somewhere. So Beejay's best friend, Joe, picked me up from the airport... It was busy Friday for everyone when I flew back home!!

wedding in destin, fl [trip 1]

最近全く定期的に更新出来ないブログですが、５月分ををここでまとめていこー！

Well I know I haven't been updating this periodically but here is one for this month before May is officially over...

5/2/09はビージェイの従兄弟の結婚式のために２泊３日でフロリダへ。メキシコ湾側は初めて。湿気がなくって過ごしよかったです。ビーチも混んでなくって「あれだったら海も悪くないかなぁ」などど、海やプールには自分からすすんで行かない私でさえ気心が。白い砂浜だったしね。式前日のリーハーサルディナーではニューオーリンズ名物ののクレイフィッシュ・ボイル（茹でザリガニ）が。わざわざニューオーリンズから呼び寄せたらしい。すごっ。ザリガニ釣りはした事あるけれど、さすがに食べた事はない…　しかも小さいから食べるのに一苦労。でもこれがスパイスが効いてて結構おいしい〜☆　

結婚式はホテルのバルコニーで夕日を見ながら・・・ナイス！気がついたら野次馬が！久しぶりにビージェイの家族や親戚に会えたんで楽しかった。しかし彼らの飲みっぷりのいい事といったら！弱い私はついてけません・・・

We went to Destin, FL for B's cousin's wedding at the first weekend of May. It was a nice weekend trip to the gulf of Mexico which was the first time for me. The weather was just right without any humidity and white sand beach. Even though we aren't beach-goers, it was actually a lot of fun! For the rehearsal dinner. the New Orleans' crayfish boil was served. Supposedly they brought a vendor all way from New Orleans! They went all out for this!!! I really enjoyed my first crayfish boil... spicy but yummy.

The wedding ceremony was held on the balcony of the hotel. It was a nice one. I thought it was funny that people staying at the hotel were busy watching the ceremony.

thunder of louisville / ルイビル花火大会

残業で死んでたので２週間遅れてのアップです。毎年ケンタッキーダービーの開幕２週間前にある北米イチでかい花火大会なんだって。たしかに、さすがアメリカ（？）、スケールが違う…　川の上３ヶ所で打ち上げるのにはビックリ！

As I have been swamped with work for the past two weeks, this video is 2 weeks old... It's from the Thunder of Louisville, an opening event before the KY Derby. Supposedly it is the biggest fireworks in North America. It was quite amazing!!

Thanks Marcela and Kevin for inviting us to the 17th floor of Waterfront Plaza building!! It was awesome to see fireworks from the eye level.
