We made it! With the exception of the lack of sleep and the hours upon hours in the car, it was an amazing trip! We got to meet some wonderful families, got a little sunshine, and got to see tons of cities we've never been to before (my 4-year-old's favorite part...did I mention he was obsessed with buildings?!)I was going to try and squeeze everything about the trip into … [Read more...]

Unfortunately, since we don't go out that often to crowded places, and are very diligent about anyone … [Read more...]
