The Wedding Party Arrives

Jennie and Alan arrived Wednesday night with her family. We all met at the famous Chicken Drop at the Spindrift Hotel to kick of the Wedding festivities. Basically, there is huge floor board with numbers and a chicken is dropped in the middle. Everyone pays a buck for a random number. Which ever number the chicken poops on, you win the pot of money. Nobody in our crew won, but that's ok. Whoever wins, has to clean up the poop off the floor.

We hosted a little cocktail and appetizer welcoming party at our house the next day which was fun. We got to meet the rest of the Lins and Edminstons. Lobster tostadas, guacamole, nachos, and of course margaritas. Good stuff.

The following evening was the rehersal dinner in town, also, excellent food. While we were eating, a christmas parade started outside our dining area with lots of young santas and elves dancing in the street. All the streets were lit up with over the top santas and blow up mickey mouses on the rooftop of houses with large strings of lights criss crossing the streets.
