Rachel's bachelorette party

This past weekend we celebrated Rachel's upcoming nuptials with an all-day bachelorette party. Some of Rachel's friends got a room at a hotel on Friday night and spent the night in Long Beach. On Saturday at noon the girls joined Amy and I at Amy's apartment. From there we went to the beach for the afternoon, then back to the apartment (with a stop to pick upu Julie) to clean up and go out for the evening. We dressed Rachel up like the bride she is, and then took her out in public. We had dinner at the Yard House, and then walked around the shops for a while. Then we drove across town for dessert at another restaurant. It was a wonderfully long day of celebration of Rachel. (You can check out the rest of the pictures here.)

Now she can get married.
