Another month went by with mostly crickets, I know. March was a month wrapped up in too much of the "work hard, play hard" mentality. Between a college friends visit and March Madness, last m...

Im pretty amazed by how many bloggers make time to blog so much around the holidays. To be honest, I get kind of judgey about it like, "Why are you blogging instead of eating copious amounts of c...
Ive procrastinated the last post because Im going to miss revisiting these memories so regularly. Its been really fun to share our travels. Obviously, it was much more than just a vacation; it w...
