Epic Road Trip: Part I

Hello dear reader!  I'm finally back, but as we're moving in a few short weeks, my posts will probably be fewer and farther between until we get settled into our new digs in Atlanta.  In the meantime, over the next three days, I will fill you in bit by bit on what Joseph and I were up to these past couple weeks.

We left for Virginia on the afternoon of June 26 so that Joseph could attend Jamie's bachelor party.  For those of you who may not know, Jamie was Joseph's best man at our wedding, and he asked that we play the music at his wedding.  So in the days preceding our trip, here's what I was up to:

Transcribing "Blackbird" tabs for guitar

Transcribing "Blackbird" for flute

 We were so grateful and excited that Jamie and Hally allowed us to choose the majority of their ceremony music, and as such, we wanted to give them the most spectacular soundtrack for their wedding. I'll elaborate more in my next post, but here's the setlist for now:

• Blackbird- Beatles
• Here Comes the Sun- Beatles
• Ripple- Grateful Dead
• The Way I Am- Ingrid Michaelson
• Suite: Judy Blue Eyes- Crosby, Stills & Nash
• Obladi Oblada- Beatles

You might see a theme...

However, despite our best laid plans, this was The Summer I Got Poison Ivy.  It especially stung since I swore up one side and down another that I'm not allergic, never have been allergic... Ugh.  You live, you learn.  It's finally clearing up, four weeks later... (no picture for this one because it was gross).

While Joseph was at the bachelor party in WV, I stayed with his mom.  It was actually very nice to just relax, do yoga, and we got mani-pedis together <3

And that's all for now!  Next up: Caroline Survives NYC!
