My family LOVES to travel and we especially love road trips. That’s when we are at our best. My husband and … Continue reading Preparation Required

School’s Out for Summer! School’s Out Forever! When we roll out of the last pick up of the year blasting Alice Cooper and screaming our lungs out, I know for sure that summer is officially here!!!
