Monticello

So we decided to take a day trip this weekend... seems to be the first weekend we have had since the wedding to do something by ourselves and for ourselves! Because we live in Williamsburg, you would think that we get enough history on a daily basis, but alas, we decided to travel to Charlottesville for yet a little more history! We went out to Monticello to see the home of Thomas Jefferson. It was a wonderful Fall day and we throughly enjoyed our little trip! I highly reccomend visiting if you have never been and if you are in the area or just passing though, it is a bit of history that is just beautiful! For more information on Thomas Jefferson and his home visit: http://www.monticello.org/ Below are some pictures - Enjoy!

Whirlwind Wedding Weekend! Whew...

Okay, so I know you are all looking for the wedding photos! I promise I will post some in this post... this month has been quite the whirlwind! Our Wedding turned into a wedding weekend for the most part and it was absolutely the best weekend of my life!
From the moment family and friends started to arrive for the festivities we began having fun!

The rundown as simply as I can post it:

Thursday September 17, 2009: My Bachelorette Party! Hosted by Bernie - One of mine and Zach's closest mutual friends. She held a get together for me at the Coco Choclatier in New Town in Williamsburg. We had the best time! Two of Zach's sisters (Emily and Hannah) were there, Kate (Justin-Zach's brothers girlfriend) was there, and my best friend in all the world (Kara)surprised me and made it into town that night for the party! Bernie did a fabulous job and I felt so special the entire night! (don't judge us by the photos! we had a GREAT time!)

When I first got there, Bernie made me put on a tiara...

then they had to take a picture of my toes b/c I have never had a pedicure before...

Bernie and I goofing off... Me and Kara! (if you can't read the tags... Bernie made these for us all to wear during the party. One of mine says: Bad Ass Bride, the other says Last Fling before the Ring. Kara's says: I'm with the party you can buy me a drink... and the other one says Bachelorette Support)

Hannah & Kate REALLY enjoyed the fondu! And the typical group shot!

It was a great night!

Then on Friday September 18, 2009

We started at 8:30AM at my mothers house for a Wedding Breakfast for both families to come together before things got hectic!
