| My handsome husband taking a self-portrait. |
It would not be a wedding if my husband didn't take at least a hundred photos. The wedding was a total blast from the church ceremony (St. Cecilia's in Brooklyn) to the hotel room (Ravel Hotel in LIC) to the reception (Water's Edge in LIC). It was a beautiful clear night and I didn't have to worry about breastfeeding because I had given my entire frozen supply to Carolyn so she could feed Cole while we were gone. And we were gone for a full 24 hours. Yes, we missed the hell out of our baby, but we enjoyed our time again as a couple. It was a nice getaway. And here are just a sampling of the photos (drumroll please)...

This is the ultra modern hotel room.

The hotel room, as you can see was really cool. It had an open floor plan, which was pretty cool -although not after someone has done the dooce, but oh well. It supposedly had a waterfall shower but we couldn't get the dang thing to work. The reception was beautiful, right on the East River. We had a grand ole time dancing and talking and, of course, taking pictures. I drank a little bit but really not that much as I could have. I had three drinks and didn't finish any of them. I was having enough fun just being with Keith and being right on the river. The music was a lot of fun, lots of 80's songs. As far as I can tell Richie is a good singer and he and Joann are a fan of 80s rock- Bon Jovi, Journey, Guns N Roses. There were probably others, I just can't remember. Below is a picture of Joann and I when Sweet Child of Mine came on. Keith made us do it

There was a Booz Cruise after the reception, but we chose not to go so we could go back to the hotel and sleep. I slept about 6 hours straight, then woke up to pump. I don't think I've felt that engorged since my milk came in! But it was nice to not have any responsibilities for one night and one morning. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
I am so glad you guys had a nice night away! Our first time away from Sophia was Isaiah and Amanda;s wedding, when Sophia was a little over 2 months old, but not for an overnight. I think it is awesome you were able to pull it off and had a great time. Does Keith have new glasses? And by the way, you look absolutely amazing!
