Jessica’s Pre-Wedding Dinner

2000, Vacations, , , ,

We went to help Jessica decorate the place where she’d be having her reception, and a flower was broken. Here’s me holding the flower . . . and Fred holding the stem.

I can make crowns out of napkins. Here is me wearing one I made out of my napkin, at a dinner party that took place the night before Jessica’s wedding.

Here’s Fred wearing the crown I made out of his napkin. This is my favorite picture of Fred from this vacation.

This is me and Jessica at this same party. It was very loud in the room and we were probably attempting to speak to each other.

Jessica and her mom at the party. Just an amusing moment.

Hijinks with Jessica

Fred liked the exercise bike in Jessica and Ron’s apartment. We had a joke that when he pedaled, it powered the computer.

Jessica and Fred engage in mortal combat. Fred is obviously the loser in this particular fight.

Jess runs Fred through

Jessica did my hair like Princess Leia, and I took her lightsaber and attacked Darth Maul, puppeted by the happy-go-lucky Fred.

Fred was unwise to fall asleep in the same room as four pranksters. We decorated him.

Imagine waking up to find you are covered with stuffed animals, a banana, and a paper umbrella with tape on your glasses? D’oh.

Gotta get my hair done

On our way to Jessica’s house in Melbourne, we had to stop to get gas. While Fred filled it up, I looked around the gas station for something to prank him with. I found a squirt gun, bought it, filled it up in the bathroom, and when Fred came in to pay . . . ATTACK!

Here’s the next morning. I was getting ready to go out mini-golfing, and decided to show Fred what I looked like with my hair tucked into my shirt!

Safety Fair!

Scott and I finally got to do our Safety Fair project on bike safety. We made a deal that I would do most of the project if he would do the majority of the presentation and interaction with kids. 🙂

Here’s me with my little cat ears headband on. Look! I’m from Josie and the Pussycats!

When we got back to Gainesville, we visited some shops. I like Books Inc.

At the bookstore

Fred had never had “grits” before, as it is sort of a Southern food. He had ordered some in the restaurant but we didn’t have the camera then. Here’s our memory of his experience with grits.

Fred likes grits

At Mother Earth they had these cool cheesecakes. Fred stocked up.

Happy birthday Lindsay!

We went to my parents’ house to visit my sister on her birthday. Here’s my sister Lindsay, me, and my dad, while she opened her presents.

Surprising Lindsay for her birthday

Fred and I gave Lindsay a card with a cute moon on it. She apparently liked it. (I hope.)
