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.
