Adventures from the Bay Area to Palm Desert Christina and I hit the road over the last few days to visit her grandparents in Southern CA. We left on Saturday morning a few minutes after 5am and traded off sleeping and driving. I didn't get to bed until 11pm Friday night because I was up cleaning the house from a long week. I'm always glad I cleaned the house prior to traveling because there is...
Have you ever had one of those days when things just weren't working for you? For some reason, today is that day for me, and I'm typing this to you from DFW Airport.

We went to San Francisco yesterday and started things off right by going to Taylor's which has awesome burgers and sweet potato fries. We surprised our birthday boy at the Motown Madness musical. Motown isn't my favorite music in the world, but I mentioned before going in that as long as I'm not the one singing, I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Little did I know, almost halfway through the musical, they would pull me up...
