Our trip to the East Coast for Brad and Brittney's wedding

So we went ALL THE WAY ACROSS the US to go to Brad and Britt's wedding in New Hampshire. We took the red eye flight out on Thursday night and flew into the Boston airport at around 7:30, we then took a van to New Hampshire where the wedding was at. We got to the Wentworth (the hotel where everything was at) and found out we couldn't check in until around 4ish... so we went with Smock and company to downtown Portsmouth (pronounced Portsmith) ate lunch and shopped a bit. We then headed back to the hotel met Casey, Kris and the kids there, we still couldn't check in so we hung out in there room. Below is a picture of the view from their balcony.
That evening was the rehearsal dinner, for dessert they had fruit and smores.... What do you think? Did Brady enjoy the smores or what?
Brad and Brittney introducing the groomsmen: Smock, JOSH, Brady, Casey, and Jason.
And how sweet is it, that Brad and Britt felt that the guys did not need to wear their suits all night, so they went ahead and bought them Tommy Bahama shirts for after the ceremony to wear during the reception. (Although this bit me in the butt cuz I never got a picture of me and Brady together in his nice new suit all dressed up).Corey, Casey, Kari, Kerrigan, Jerry, and Brady enjoying a picture together after the fabulous dinner.

The next morning (the morning of the wedding) the groomsmen and their families and friends took a boat tour around parts of New Hampshire. I will have to say the East coast is absolutely beautiful. Here Brady and I stand at the dock.

Josh.... well.... being Josh

One of the many light houses we saw.
Josh called this "Old Henry's Palace." When in fact it was actually an old prison.




We drove by the US Coast Guard: here is one of their boats.
The rest of the afternoon we did a little more touring of Portsmouth, ate lunch saw some landmarks, like the one below of the North Church, where it is to be said that George Washington once prayed here.

We got back from Portsmouth and got all gussied up and ready for the wedding. The boys clean up rather nicely don't you think?The Wedding Gazebo
