Question

Can my pets come? My 3 dogs really like to camp. My African grey parrot is usually quiet during weddings, but sometimes gets very excited and swears. Two of my three cats are good on leashes, the third rides in a stroller. Can we bring them?

Well behaved animals on leashes are welcome, but they must play nice with others. (including other dogs) Otherwise we prefer that your pets stay at home or go to a pet spa for the weekend.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Please wear "California Formal” to the wedding. Men should wear a sport coat and snappy tie, or a suit. Women should wear a pretty summery dress as if you were going to an outdoor lunch at a fancy restaurant, either long or short. Be prepared to put a wrap or sweater (or maybe a coat) on during or after dinner. Sunset at 8ish, so it will probably cool down after that. Ladies wedge heels would be better for the rough terrain than stiletto heels. During other weekend activities and hikes, please wear whatever you are comfortable in, including your favorite jeans and a tee shirt. Don’t forget your hat, hiking boots, flip flops, sunglasses and sunscreen.

Question

Answer

There are lots of native fish like trout out in the creeks and lakes near by. Please bring your fishing gear and license.
