This. This right here makes my heart happy. Our daughter is at an age where holding hands is not really “cool” anymore (what age did that happen for you?? I swear 10 is too young!!), so to see her willingly slip her little hand into her daddy’s is what makes vacation so amazing! It gives … Continue reading Vacations are about this…

I love coffee. Like LOVE, love, LOVE coffee.
