Cameron and Ziggy were especially sweet. Ziggy dressed up to come wake me up for my birthday. (Excuse the mess. This picture was taken in "Cameron's Man Cave".)
That was pretty much the best way to wake up! Then when I came out of the bedroom, Cameron was waiting for me with balloons, roses, a monkey card, the new Regina Spektor CD and a puzzle of a picture from our honeymoon.
Even though I had to teach my section from 7:00 - 8:00 that night, Cameron took me out to dinner at Stella Mare's afterwards. It's a French restaurant that we've been wanting to try for quite some time. I am not usually a big fan of French food, as it is just way too rich. This place was really good though. Even though the food was rich, it had a nice balance. Plus the restaurant is in this big old house from the 1800s, so the atmosphere is really romantic.
Friday morning, we left for Philadelphia where we attended one of the most fun weddings I've ever been to. Plus Seth and Stacy drove up from DC to hang out, eat Cheese Steaks and go beer tasting! The couple getting married were Cam's good friends from college, so he had a blast seeing all of his old Brandeis buddies. They threw a big party at a hip bowling alley in Philadelphia the night before the wedding. The wedding its self was in Stockton, NJ at an old mill. Not only was it a beautiful venue for the fall, but everything was so relaxed and fun. Of course the food was great as well, and they had four different desserts: cupcakes, smores, candied apples, and four different types of pie!
This is a picture of Cameron and Steve fighting with their iPhone light sabers in the CVS parking lot while we waited for Janna to get some cold medicine. Steve and Janna are such a fun couple! It was the first time we've gotten to spend time with them when one of us wasn't getting married. It was really a great weekend.
