But before we get to the wedding, let's review what we did in the hours leading up...It took 2 (semipainful) flights to get to Knoxville (unfortunately Anderson isn't always the most cooperative traveler. However, he lights up (and stops crying) when anybody new starts giving him attention - faker!)). We attended the casual rehearsal dinner, and then we set out for the famed Dollywood early the next morning. Though it cost us $50/adult for 2+ hours, Jason decided that it would be a big mistake to miss it while we were there... So...
We ran into Madeline...
And Peter Rabbit....
Saw one of Dolly's cousins performing...and just took in the charm :)
We rode a steam train (complete with authentic inhalable coal dust!)...
And Anderson got his first ride on a carousel...
Some of the gift shop items were of questionable taste...
And then the wedding!!
The beautiful bride and handsome groom :)
It was a sweet/simple ceremony followed by sit-down dinner. Jason was his typical self and grabbed the video camera for some informal taping of dinner and wishes for the lucky couple.
Early the next morning, we were blessed with the babysitting services of Grandma & Grandpa Burger, and went off to play....:
This weekend was a little more tame :)
We went to our first 'All Ivy' event, where Jason became an honorary alumnus of MIT. We joined 4 other MITers for a competitive bowling match against the other Ivies (Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, etc). As has apparently been our reputation, we crushed our competitors :) Yes, the Beavers actually have some 'athletic' skills....! Anderson was so mesmerized, he fell asleep in the middle of the game...

Congratulations to Diana and Aaron! And wow, Dollywood costs almost as much as Disneyland ... but Im going to have to agree with Jason. If you're there, you kind of have to go. You know, sort of like dog sledding in Alaska and snorkling in Hawaii...
