We have a couple of excursions planned for the week. For the first one, we visited Tulum, site of ruins of a small Mayan city. It was a sweltering hot day, but it was interesting to see the ruins and imagine what life must have been like in the area centuries ago. The view was amazing, too. I’ve uploaded photos from Tulum.
Elizabeth and I arrived in the Riviera Maya, in Mexico, on Monday afternoon. We are staying at the Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso, which is very nice. It is all inclusive, with 5 restaurants, a few pools, and people that go out of their way to help. We’ve had fun trying out a few of the restaurants so far, and have had good weather (good by my definition = not so much sun that I melt). I’ve uploaded some photos of the resort.
I’ve posted some random photos from our wedding. The photos are from the bridal shower for Elizabeth, the rehearsal dinner at 2201 in the boro, hanging out at home after the rehearsal dinner, and the wedding day. We really had a great day for our wedding - after a rainy Saturday, Sunday dawned with clear skies and nice temperatures. Everything came together nicely, and Elizabeth looked beautiful. We were surrounded by those closest to us, and had a nice, intimate ceremony.
Our wedding is September 7, 2008, in front of both of our families. To organize the information in one location, and to give me an excuse to make another website, we’ve put the wedding information up on its own site, www.ellisklinewedding.com. The site is still a work in progress as we finalize the plans, but the main information is there now. We hope to add more information as we approach the wedding date.
On June 21, Dad Ellis, Vanessa, Meredith, Elizabeth, and I went to Box Hill Mansion for a birthday dinner for Elizabeth, and to finalize wedding plans. We are getting married at Box Hill on September 7. I took some video while we were there. Weather permitting, the wedding will be outdoors, down to the left of the reflecting pond shown in part of the video. The high def version is here.
