The Curious Life of the Campbells: We're BACK (with lots of pictures)

I fell asleep at the wheel of my blog! (crap) I was pumped to get started on here, but then Kim and I just got swarmed with things to do. Luckily, we have had a lot of fun things to do: 5k run, lake time, wake surfing, 4th of July food and fireworks, Meredith and J-Rob's wedding in Atlanta, and my brother Alex's wedding in Newport, RI. I want to get back to the house updates, but I also want to do a run down of what the Campbell's have been up to. So, before I post more house updates here are some pictures from the past few weeks of fun:

WEDDING in ATLANTA

Meredith and J-Rob get married in Atlanta. Beautiful wedding and reception.

Meredith, I wanted to note that I was the one who ate all of the bacon

in the buffet line at the reception. very tasty

But really, food was awesome, and The Grapevine was grooving. Ya'll looked great!

(And Ryals gave us all a good scare while down on his knee !!!)

All the pretty ladies!

NEWPORT!!!

On to Newport, RI for my brother's wedding. Kim and I's first trip to the New England coast, a place rich in American history, incredible seafood, amazing yachts, and beautiful settings on the water! Well, Kim and I skipped that stuff and went straight to the arcade to rack up on tickets. (I won the hammer game pictured below, Kimmy is the SkiBall champion of the world!!)

Kim is enjoying sailing!!

The rehearsal dinner was on a monster sail boat named Arabella, adding to the nautical theme of the weekend.

We do it REAL BIG!

Alex drinking, and Meredith cracking jokes while we were giving toasts in the cabin of the boat.

Its amazing how we had over 100 people on that boat, and even more amazing was the amount of alcohol consumed by those 100+ people. This was a highlight of the weekend.

Wedding day has arrived. Lobster, boats, dancing and tying the knot. Plus a performance by the Rambling Campbells (a.k.a. me and my bros' imaginary band) giving New England a little taste of some Southern boys!!!

Put your hands up!

Blue Hydrangeas everywhere, if its not the state flower of Rhode Island, I am asking for a re-vote on that. These flowers were all over town, and obviously at this wedding!!
