2017 preparations

We are packing up and excited to head East. I can't believe I married to such an old man... We are going back for Don's 60th class reunion! I'm glad that I have him and that he is my ride or die for life.

Sadly, we are not taking the bike for this trip since we are mostly driving on the freeway.

Until next time!
