I recently flew to Maryland with my husband for his family reunion and had a blast meeting his extended family. He comes from a large family just like me so I felt pretty comfortable mingling with the guests. The weather was a huge plus, it was so nice and warm and I couldn't get enough. The summer in Oakland so far has been very cool, fog in the a.m. and some sun in the p.m. but not much warmth. The only bad thing about the East Coast in the summer are all the mosquitoes and their thirst for blood. I've never had so many bites and found myself scratching in my sleep! We had fun doing summer type things such as kayaking, swimming, running, etc. We had tons of bbq's and drank some good wine. I feel very lucky to genuinely like my sibling-in-laws. They are wonderful, talented, vivacious, and hilarious people.
