Mexico, Jan 2009 breakdown
The trip started out on a demi-sour note- the night before we were crashing at my parents’ house- they live 10 min from the airport, and we needed to be at the airport by 4 AM.

We're hoping to catch our collective breath this weekend- we're heading down to Lanesboro this weekend to celebrate Ethan's birthday (11/5). There will likely be a lot of Settlers of Catan, wine-drinking, ( Read more... )
