This past weekend, Frank and I traveled to beautiful Banff, Canada for Kristen and Darren's wedding! Nicholas got his own little vacation with Grandma and Grandpa Busso in lovely Staten Island, NY. As first time parents we were a little apprehensive about leaving the little guy for five days, but we knew he was in good hands. The wedding was absolutely stunning and so much fun and it was nice for mom and dad to have a little R&R time on our own. We ate great food, visited the various breathtaking sites in the area, oh and most importantly - we slept! Little Nicholas has been a pretty great sleeper so far, but it was still nice to have five consecutive nights of continuous sleep. We definitely missed him a ton, but the thought of going home to him helped combat the standard blues of the vacation coming to a close. And Grandma and Grandpa reported that our little guy was an angel and they had a great time with him. So it was a win-win all around!
Here are some shots from the weekend. Kristen was a beautiful bride and she and Darren were positively beaming throughout the weekend!
