Road Trip: NorCal to Oregon and Washington State

      Spring is in the air and a young man's fancy turns to weddings.  A nephew decided to tie the knot in Oregon at his Mom's house in Ashland, home of the Shakespeare Festival for 9 months of the year.  Ashland is also a college town, home of Southern Oregon Univ.
     The weather looked a little sketchy going forward and it had been raining most of the week leading up to the festivities.  But as luck would have it, the skies cleared and it was a gorgeous day.  Especially nice since the ceremony and reception were to be held outside under the oaks.  The 150 guests were in fine fettle and the bride and groom were all smiles.  Parents, friends, and relatives were all enjoying this special occasion.  After about 5 hours on his feet, the Mayor had to beg off and head back to the hotel for some well deserved sleep.
