Size Does Matter: Get a ballpark idea of who's invited and round out that number to help target your search for the perfect space. Remember, the space may look roomy now but it will fill up fast with a band setup, buffet, tables, chairs, and decorations.
Hell Is Other People: If you want something intimate, don't hold your event in a public spot like a park or garden unless you rent it. Strangers may walk by, look, or even make comments.
If These Walls Could Talk: Big venues often hold more than one event at a time, so find out what's happening on your target date, and where. You don't want to be shouting your vows over the sounds of karaoke or a self-help seminar next door.
Room with a View: Give your guests a little feast for their eyes. Pick a location that offers something visual - a city skyline or a sunset overlooking the ocean. If you choose a historic building, or museum, look at the architectural details, wall hangings, and floor coverings.
Praying to the Parking Gods: If you are having a city wedding, look for a lot nearby and negotiate a flat rate to validate your guest's passes. Opting for a bus or trolley may be a solution for inadequate parking facilities.

Pickle is really starting to warm up to us. His first day here he was tired and pretty shy. He really didn't eat or drink much either. Today though he really started warming up to us. He's also eating much better and drinking plenty of water. We also got him some cool toys to play with and chew on. He'll be getting a dust bath tomorrow which will make a cool little video.
We had a great time snowboarding at Lutsen. It's on Lake Superior's North Shore and you can see the lake when your on top of the mountains. The weather was great but a little foggy at times. Check out the view from our resort and the video of the gondola ride from one of the mountains to another.
It's a little late but, Happy New Year! We had an awesome time as usual in Winnipeg this year. We stayed at the Holiday Inn, ate at Confusion Corner Bar & Grill (sweet restaurant), and partied at Tijuana Yacht Club (Winnipeg's largest club). Winnipeg is such an amazing city. They have tons of culture, art, and things to do. Plus, its only two hours from us.
