The NJ Wedding - rehearsal dinner

Mid-day we met up with Robert in Penn Station to ride the NJ Transit train to Newark.  I will admit that it was hectic trying to figure out exactly where to go....if there is ever a "next time", we will be more coordinated!

Tickets bought - we settled on the train for the 40 minute ride.

Not much scenery!

On to the hotel where most of the wedding guests were staying.  It's a very nice setup - we gathered in the lobby area to wait for the shuttle over to Harold's New York Deli  for the rehearsal dinner.  Kyle and Robert discussing something meaningful, I'm sure.

Carolyn, Tommy and Sharon visiting.

Finally got over to the deli - Kyle telling us all how the restaurant "works".

It was really cool - you went to the "World's Largest Pickle Bar" to get all your condiments.  Hot pickles, sweet pickles, sour pickles, pickle relish, it went on and on!

Sweet photo of Carolyn and Tommy!

More "mini-speeches".   Then we all chowed-down on the yummy food.

Did I mention the NY cheesecake?  It was very, very good!

More visiting - the minister, his wife and Christopher.

The Penven's (Debbie's family) and you can see Richard tucked back in the background with the McCraw's!

Callie and her friend Laura.

And it was Kevin's birthday also!  So, Debbie arranged for him to be served a HUGE slice of one of these cakes.

And of course, we all sang happy birthday.....I think he was surprised and pleased!

And I'll leave you to ponder this photo that was on the wall at Harold's along with other vintage stuff....the girl is peering down from a very high spot.  This looks to my "pilot's eye" as much higher than the typical 2000 foot tower.  Where IS she???  Or is this a fabricated photo?
