In 1970-71 Mandy's grandpa (Jay) bought a small property in a development called Trail West, located just outside of Buena Vista. In 1973-74 primarily Jay and her Uncle Kevin (with heavy decorative inspirations from Dorothy and Mary) started overseeing the building of the "Kershaw-let." The area has held a special place in Mandy's heart ever since she can remember. And, because she has moved around so much as a child and adult it really feels like "home." Mandy brought Raj out to Buena Vista the first year they started dating. It did not take long for him to understand that the town of Buena Vista, mountain air, views, and the cabin in Trail West were all something truly special to both her and her family. And people have noted that after a trip to the area, he does tend to look a bit younger... It made the decision to hold the festivities in this place an easy one. As so many people will be coming from all over, we are so excited to share this special place with all of you!
We strongly encourage you to plan extra time before and after the wedding to see all the area has to offer. There are so many options, including hot springs, hiking, rafting, and horseback riding (please see "Things to Do"), so make sure to spend some extra time exploring!
This is a tough one... each and every one of your children means the world to us! It is truly a pleasure being "Raj Uncle/Mama" and "Aunty Mondy" to all of them. That being said, finding child care around BV is a little difficult. And with so many activities "for adults only" we wanted to give you a chance to truly enjoy your partner's company and give your kids a chance to spend some quality time with their grandparents ;) Additionally, we promise to make an effort to take some time over the coming year celebrate with your entire family as well. So really, its a win-win-win situation.
