Family Mellmann

  While the bride and groom and their families are off doing wedding things, the Vermont contingent - which we are still considered a part of - enjoyed a morning of walking around town here in Des Moines. We checked out the famous farmer’s market. We went to the botanical garden. And we walked everywhere…miles and miles. It has been a great deal of fun seeing our friends again in this uniquely “vacation” setting (we usually see each other at someone’s home for a holiday celebration) and it has been so fun to catch up on everyone, including a couple kids who were able to join us. The countdown is on; two hours to wedding time.

Patrick, who has a few days off before his first big flight, was able to join us for this weekend's wedding festivities in Des Moines Iowa. He arrived late on Friday evening and we get to catch up with all our old Vermont friends.  Check out our handsome son!
