I took our 12 year old son to Palo Alto for a cousin\u2019s wedding on March 15.\u00a0 We arrived in Palo Alto late Friday night (which was made even later with a request for a late-night snack of black truffle French fries).\u00a0 Once we finally got up on Saturday, we made the obligatory brain-washing visit to Stanford and walked through the Engineering Quad.\u00a0 It was one of those gloriously sunny 80 degree days that Palo Alto specializes in (what a woman I talked to briefly called \u201cstupid nice\u201d).<\/p>\n

The wedding itself was one of the loveliest ceremonies we\u2019ve been to.\u00a0 I was only sorry that Jim and our daughter couldn\u2019t be there, too.\u00a0 And it was wonderful to see my parents and all my relatives and catch up on what they\u2019ve been doing.\u00a0 (Although our son, after being presented with a plethora of cousins he never knew existed, decided we had too big of a family.\u00a0 He wasn\u2019t reassured on being told that this was the less populated side of my family.)<\/p>\n

Naturally, after a weekend of glorious weather, we came back to DC and had 10 inches of snow overnight.\u00a0 School was cancelled on Monday, and I suspect it will be July before school finally lets out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
